Consultation on standards of education and training and standards of education and training guidance

01/08/2008 - 14/11/2008

This consultation has now closed. You can download a copy of the consultation document and the consultation responses document below. The revised standards of education and training can be dowloaded here.

We are consulting on revised standards of education and training and revised standards of education and training guidance.

The standards of education and training (SETs) are the standards against which we assess education and training programmes. A programme which meets these standards will allow a student who successfully completes that programme to meet our standards of proficiency.

The standards were reviewed by a Professional Liaison Group (PLG) which included particpation from representatives of education providers and professional bodies as well as HPC Council members. We are proposing a number of changes and additions to the standards and the supporting guidance, in light of the PLG's discussion and feedback we have received from those who use the standards.

We would welcome your comments on the revised SETs and SETs guidance in whatever format is convenient for you. You may wish to address the questions below.

1. Are the alterations to the SETs and SETs guidance appropriate?

2. Are additional SETs required?

3. Is more guidance required?

4. Is the guidance clear?

5. Do any standards or parts of the guidance need to be amended to ensure that they are applicable to future professions?

In addition, we would welcome your comments on how our standards and guidance might better support service user involvement and input into the development and delivery of approved programmes.

The consultation will run until Friday 14 November 2008.

This document is available to download below and available in hard copy on request.
