1 First Steps competence checklists Introduction First Steps for HCAs has been developed as a programme for self-directed learning. Learners who wish to formalise their learning may choose to download the competence assessment pack. This pack contains the performance criteria from a range of National Occupational Standards (NOS) that are relevant for each UK country s HCSW National Minimum Training Standards and equivalent. You can use them, in conjunction with your mentor or registered nursing colleagues to record that you have achieved competence in the skills required by the NOS. They can also be printed off separately or as a pack. This is completely optional, and the most appropriate assessments can be used according to the needs of your workplace or your personal choice. They have been included so you can take this evidence of your competence to other workplaces in the future or to apply to receive credit for any formal training programme you might undertake. These checklists have been mapped to the Knowledge and Skills Framework and the National Occupational Standards they refer to are indicated on the checklist forms. For the full National Occupational Standards including the knowledge and understanding criteria for each please refer to the Skills for Health website Revised March 2015
