Teachers’ Professional standards
Read the standards and see how they can help you develop your teaching skills at your present stage and in the future.
The standards will help teachers to review their professional practice, inform their career decisions and identify their professional development needs. Where teachers wish to progress to the next career stage, the next level of the framework provides a reference point for all teachers when considering future development.

Every Child Matters provides information on the changes to the way services for children are being implemented and information on the Common Core of Skills & Knowledge for the Children’s Workforce.
Common Core of Skills and Knowledge
The Common Core of Skills and Knowledge for the Children's Workforce sets out the basic skills and knowledge needed by people (including volunteers) whose work brings them into regular contact with children, young people and families. It will enable multi-disciplinary teams to work together more effectively in the interests of the child.
The skills and knowledge are described under six main headings:
Effective communication and engagement with children, young people and families
Child and young person development
Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of the child
Supporting transitions
Multi-agency working
Sharing information
Over time it is expected that everyone working with children, young people and families will be able to demonstrate a basic level of competence in the six areas of the Common Core. In the future, the Common Core will form part of qualifications for working with children, young people and families and it will act as a foundation for training and development programmes run by employers and training organisations.
You can also download the Common Core of Skills and Knowledge as a PDF.
