National Standards for Personal, Social and Employability Qualifications

As part of qualifications reforms in Post -16 education in England, we are seeking to improve Personal, Social and Employability qualifications (PSEQs) (including Independent Living qualifications). This consultation presents the new N ational S tandards we have developed , alongside proposals on how they should be used to create new qualifications. W e are seeking views about the suitability of the standards to support students to gain sustainable employment, progress in education or develop independent living skills. We are also seeking feedback on the supporting proposals.
