what is required for competence in own work role

A HOW TO guide ....
Please consider these questions when approaching the above two
assessment criteria ..
1. What
area or sector is your work in eg, are you part of the children and young
people's workforce? health and social care? teaching? foster and looked
after children? why ... because each has its own national occupational
standards or NOS that you'll need to look at.
2. Your
home nation affects which set of standards you use - do you work in England,
NI, Scotland or Wales?
3. Your home nation also affects which, if any early years framework you use eg. EYFS if in England?
your nation's framework sets a mandatory expectation that you will
meet what it says within it/the standards, through your daily, weekly,
monthly and yearly practice.
4. Do you
have any specific responsibilities towards identifying and supporting
special or additional learning / educational needs? if yes you will
need to have regard to the SEN code of practice
5. PLEASE make
sure you ask your workplace, setting or placement for your job contract,
a job description or a list of all the responsibilities and duties that
you are expected to perform whilst you are at work or away from work and
representing the setting in a professional capacity - eg at a meeting,
on a trips or visit ect..
USE this job description or list to
compare what you do against industry standards.
As an example - if you are expected to clear, wipe down tables,
hoover and risk check areas you are meeting regulations and guidelines
for health and safety you are maintaining appropriate environments for
children that means you are safeguarding those in your care and visitors
to the setting.
Standards may include
Codes of practice - look in your setting's policies to see what code of practice
it expects of you and in your job description.
Regulations - your area of work is required to meet national and local
regulations - do you know what framework supports you to do this?
