The Potential Impact of the Existence of NVQs on Advice Giving in Voluntary Settings.

Jones, Alison

British Journal of Guidance and Counselling, v24 n1 p45-51 Feb 1996

The impact of the introduction of National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) on the role of agencies such as Citizens' Advice Bureaux--that is, voluntary-sector advice agencies with a strong welfare right ethos--is examined. The implications of NVQs on the everyday practice of advice giving in voluntary settings is explored. (Author)
