Recognised Qualifications. The key concept is that a post holder appointed to a particular range must be able to demonstrate competence to fulfil the duties and responsibilities of the post. Employers will need to take care in drawing up job descriptions to ensure that the skills and expertise required of workers match the requirements of the posts. To assist employers, the NYA and the Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA) through their respective ETS committees, operate a process of professional validation/endorsement of HE undergraduate and postgraduate youth work courses. Validation/endorsement by an ETS Committee confers recognition that HE courses have met the required standard for professional formation of youth work students as recognised by the JNC. Scotland has a separate but similar process for the approval of higher education programmes, which is carried out by the Community Learning and Development (CLD) Standards Council. Similarly, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland operate an endorsement process for HE courses through the North/South Education and Training Standards Committee (NSETS). The ETS committees across the UK and Ireland come together as the Joint ETS to share information, discuss issues relating to professional endorsement and to agree protocols for working practices. The ETS committees in England and Wales also endorse OFQUAL approved Awarding Organisations (AOs) for the delivery of QCF youth support work vocational qualifications. Employers are guided to specified youth work programmes, which are accredited through one of these endorsed AOs as the endorsement process is based on a relationship between AOs and ETS to secure standards against the JNC framework. A full list of recognised courses can be found in Appendix I of the JNC Agreement and the updated list can be accessed from the following websites: • ETS England: xxx.xxx.xxx.xx • ETS Wales: xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx.xx The following table links the key grading criteria in the JNC framework with the recognised qualifications described above. JNC FRAMEWORK MINIMUM QUALIFICATION Youth and Community Support Worker Range The JNC recommends that employers provide newly appointed workers with induction and introduction training as appropriate.
