A focus on functions, not roles

The benefits of National Occupational Standards (NOS)

We are at the mapping stage NOS are being drawn from a number of skills sectors Initial work completed 17 February Next stage is to consult with all police authorities, PATS, APA and Home Office The exercise so far has highlighted where some functions can be drawn together For finance and audit functions it is suggested be based on publications from CIPFA, most notably the Role of Chief Finance Officer and similar publication for Head of Audit both published recently.

Personal Qualities: A snippet of the Executive Leadership PQs

Options for moving forward? Option one Do no more. We can use what we have for our immediate need. However, as it will not sit on the Skills for Justice website it will be static and quickly become out of date Option two Police authorities invest with Skills for Justice. The framework can flex and change according to need. Sitting on the S4J website new NOS can be added and existing ones updated automatically. Option three A third party takes over responsibility (and ownership) of the model. Benefits are as option 2 the framework will be maintained and updated but police authorities / OPCCs may not have further influence on development/changes What’s the cost £30,000 with role profile builder £20,000 without (recommended);
