As part of the UK
Vocational Qualifications Review Programme, Sector Skills
Councils and Skills and Standards Setting Bodies are
required to have a Qualification Strategy for their sector
and associated action plan.
The
Qualifications Strategy (QS) for the Security sector is a
strategic document outlining the vision for the future of
qualifications and learning in the Security sector. It will
drive the review and development of vocational
qualifications in the sector ensuring demand-led provision
of qualifications across all four UK
nations.
The QS is based
on research and employer consultation. The key points from
this research can be viewed by clicking
here.
Additionally,
consultation on the QS has taken place with stakeholders
including government departments, devolved administrations,
industry and qualification regulatory authorities, awarding
bodies, employers and representative bodies. A summary of
the draft Qualifications Strategy for the Security sector
can be viewed by clicking
here. During 2009 further research will be carried in
Scotland and
Northern Ireland
and an enhanced QS is anticipated to be available mid 2010.
