Competency Framework
Consultation closed 28th February 2023
This framework has been developed to support governance arrangements and standardise a process to enable competency assessment for staff employed by different organisations across Health and Social Care Services in Lothian.
This framework will enable competency assessment if the relevant organisations across Health & Social Care in Lothian agree and a Service Level Agreement (SLA) is in place. We anticipate that the framework will predominantly be utilised by Community, Care Home, Care at Home, Residential, Respite, Day Services and NHS Lothian services.
The framework is not mandatory but is strongly encouraged to fulfil legal requirements, support best practice and to standardise arrangements. Please access the document in the link below.
