Updated children and young people competence publications now available

Published: 21 July 2010

The Royal College of Nursing has published three updated children and young people competence publications which are now available to download exclusively from the RCN website.

The updated frameworks identify the competences, learning outcomes and the indicative content necessary for education and training programmes to meet the needs of children and young people. It is recommended that they should be used to develop new programmes and review and revise existing ones.

Download the frameworks from RCN publications.
