During the development of the National Occupational Standards (NOS) for preventing and tackling domestic and sexual abuse/violence, discussions took place over the potential need for qualifications based on the standards.

Skills for Justice are now undertaking a scoping exercise to assess the potential demand for qualifications. If they are to proceed with developing a qualification, it will assist them in putting together a successful funding bid.

So, if you want to hekp out  take the short qualification scoping questionnaire which will be used to gauge the demand for a qualification in this area. It should take you no more than 10 minutes to complete and your feedback is greatly appreciated. The deadline for submissions is 12 February 2010.
