Overview

The OCR Level 3 Award, Certificate and Diploma in Support Work in Schools was developed in response to the National Agreement on Raising Standards and Tackling Workload. This agreement recognises the crucial contribution of school support staff, working as a team alongside teachers.

This qualification will come out of Pilot as of 1 January 2009.

These qualifications aim to develop candidates skills and knowledge and to recognise their achievements in a practical way that is relevant to the work context.

• Extensive choice of optional units allowing candidates to tailor to specific development needs relevant to their role in school.
• New unit content reflects the 'parent' NVQ standards allowing for easier progression onto NVQs.
• Much of the practical evidence required to meet the assessment requirements of the qualification will be naturally occurring as part of the candidates day to day work activities.
• The qualification contains the new Parent Support endorsed pathways within the Certificate and Diploma.
