TS 13303

TS 13303 is a vocational standard for the role of a child attendant, covering the job description, classification, and the requirements expected of the role, together with how those requirements are measured and evaluated. In practical terms, standards of this kind provide a common framework for describing job boundaries and for aligning training, assessment, and workplace expectations.

What the role involves in general technical terms

Child attendant work is centered on the daily care, supervision, and basic support of a child. In general technical context, the role calls for a suitable approach to the child’s age, developmental stage, and care needs, along with attention, responsibility, and communication skills. The term “attendant” here refers to a broader caregiving function, not only physical watching but also maintaining routines, supporting a safe environment, and cooperating with the family’s expectations.

How the standard frames evaluation

A key feature of this standard is that it addresses both the characteristics required of a child attendant and the measurement and evaluation of those characteristics. This makes the occupational profile more than a simple definition: it provides a shared basis for assessing whether the relevant knowledge, skills, and attitudes are present in a consistent way. In vocational-standard terms, that helps turn a general job title into a structured and assessable profile.

• Job description and classification
• Required characteristics of the child attendant
• Measurement and evaluation of those characteristics
