Skills for Justice, part of the Workforce Development Trust, in partnership with the UK Government, has launched a public consultation on the civil contingencies suite of National Occupational Standards (NOS) in support of the UK Government Resilience Framework.
Justice
Building resilience skills: National review of resilience competencies
Project overview
The Workforce Development Trust (incorporating Skills for Justice, Skills for Health, People 1st International) has been commissioned by the Cabinet Office to carry out a review of the Civil Contingency suite of National Occupational Standards. This will form the basis for further work being undertaken for Resilience across many sectors within the UK.
National Occupational Standards (NOS) describe the knowledge, skills and understanding needed to do a particular job to a nationally recognised level of competence.
About the consultation
An expert working group is reviewing the results of the public consultation (which closed on 30 September 2024), with the aim of using insights from across the UK to inform the final standards which will be submitted for approval. We expect that the updated NOS will be available for use in April 2025. If you’d like to find out when they are launched, sign up to receive updates from Skills for Justice.
