Standards in Development

Standards for Mentoring and Befriending in the voluntary/justice sector

In conjunction with the Mentoring and Befriending Foundation, Skills for Justice are beginning a project to develop a Functional Map for Mentoring and Befriending services within the Voluntary and Community sector.

This work will then inform the development of a new suite of National Occupational Standards and a vocational qualification for the Mentoring of Offenders.

Skills for Justice are now consulting on the new standards and are inviting feedback and comments from those involved in Mentoring and befriending in the community, especially those who work with offenders or those at risk of offending. If you’re interested in taking part in the consultation, download a summary of consultation information here (.doc, 128Kb).

For information about the new standards, alongside project updates and contact details, visit the Skills For Justice website.
