Review Frame

ScreenSkills have been working with industry practitioners and experts on identifying and confirming the workflow and the key functions / jobs in set crafts roles including carpentry, set painting and set plastering. The updated workflow and functions have been agreed and these have informed the revised Set Crafts National Occupational Standards (NOS).

We have now been asked by the regulator on behalf of all home nations, to check and confirm with industry if we can use existing construction sector generic standards to cover the set crafts roles in the screen industries.

We have received confirmation from industry that the traditional route of entry to set crafts roles is through the mainstream construction sector, with majority of the set crafts roles being filled by skilled labourers or qualified construction workers. They then develop production specific skills learning on the job.

This has confirmed that the basic skills required for set crafts roles such as carpentry, set painting and set plastering is indeed the same as those used in domestic and commercial construction settings.

Therefore, it is proposed that we will adopt the Construction standards as they correspond to the key functions we require coverage for and we will retire our existing Set Crafts standards. These standards are imported from the Construction standards suite specific to either Plastering, Woodworking or Decorative finishing and Industrial Paining Occupations.

There are six specialist standards which do not exist in general construction – these are clearly marked on the Functional Map listing all the NOS below.

Please confirm if you are in support of this approach and if you have any further feedback on the Set Crafts Functional Map or any of the specialist standards we propose to retain.

If you have any questions, please email Krisztina.Biliczky@screenskills.com

1. The Functional Map below lists the key areas and functions that are part of key job roles within this area of work. Each area lists the relevant standards to detail the tasks for each given function. Do you agree?

Yes

2. Is there anything missing from the Functional Map?

Yes

If Yes, please give details of items that should be added to the map in the box below.

3. Is there anything that could be removed from the Functional Map?

Yes

If yes, please give details of items that should be removed from the map in the box below.

4. ONLY FOR THOSE BASED IN WALES. Do you believe there is a demand for having these standards translated into Welsh langauge?

Yes
