Knowledge and Skills Framework

Targeted at: Branch education Officers and UNISON reps in the Health Service

It will provide a consistent, comprehensive and explicit framework on which to base review and development for all staff.

To understand the development review process and explore any issues that members might raise
To develop some ideas around organising and recruiting around the KSF
