title: Mind your backs: NVQs march on.
abstract: I am very concerned about the further development of NVQs at level three in the care sector. I have been closely involved with training of care assistants at level two in a nursing home environment and have fully supported the implementation of a training programme for this level of care staff. We have now been shown the units for level three and I am concerned that if we allow this to happen we compromise our own professional registration.
