National Occupational Standards

What We Do » Playwork Workforce » National Occupational Standards


National occupational standards establish the benchmark of competence required in the sector and form the key component of many qualifications.

National occupational standards (NOS) form the basis of qualifications and training programmes.
The standards also help define job roles, measure staff performance and identify and develop routes for progression and professional development.

SkillsActive, as the sector skills council for playwork, work with employers, partner organisations and experts to develop national occupational standards across the Active Leisure, Learning and Well-being Sector. For more information on NOS for playwork visit the SkillsActive website on www.skillsactive.com/playwork/nos
