Murad Code Values and Competency Framework & Asssesment Tools

This is a set of professional tools for organisations and individuals who have decided to integrate the principles of the Code into their work. The Murad Code Values and Competency Framework & Assessment Tools are aimed at helping organisations and managers to ensure that the right people with the right knowledge, skills and attitudes are undertaking the work in the right way when it relates to the gathering, handling, sharing and other use of SCRSV information. They can also help individuals to reflect on and ensure they have the right set of competencies to undertake this work.

The framework and assessment tools can be explored on an interactive microsite. Together they:

  • describe the set of universal values and competencies required of individuals to safely and effectively gather or use information from or about SCRSV in all settings and across all sectors

  • help managers to write qualification requirements for job profiles; recruit or select personnel for positions, taskings or missions; assess or evaluate performance; and plan professional development steps for personnel

  • guide individuals to understand the required values and competencies, and to identify and address their own professional development needs if they are to work safely and effectively in this space

  • promote better standards of practice which adhere to the principles captured in the Murad Code
