Evaluation of the Continuing Competence Framework
The Council has a commitment to evidence-based policy and practice and to ensuring, as far
as practicable, that its processes are underpinned by research and evaluation. To this end
the Council has determined to undertake an evaluation of the Continuing Competence
Framework. A search identified that although there is research and practice literature related
to the establishment, methodology and content of competence frameworks and
programmes, there appears to be little research to date on evaluation of these
methodologies. Consequently this research will make a significant contribution to knowledge
in the area of regulation policy.
The Council is seeking proposals from individuals or teams of researchers with an interest in
the topic and relevant experience in evaluation research/projects to undertake the evaluation
of the Continuing Competence Framework. Guidelines are provided for the project and
tenderers are to provide a detailed budget including any institutional overheads and/or
subcontracting arrangements.
