	National Occupational Standards offer a useful structure to support partnership development, because they provide a common language and an overall framework in which all partners can understand their own roles and other partners' roles in working towards a common purpose. Working with all the partners, either individually or, better still, as a team, identify who is accountable for which activity in the National Occupational Standards and who is involved. Discuss areas where there are gaps in the partnership's coverage and areas where there are overlapping accountabilities. Is it appropriate that there are gaps (it is not necessary for every partnership to cover the whole of the NOS area)? Are the overlaps in accountabilities appropriate or do these reveal duplication of activities and potential areas of conflict between partners? Is every partner clear about their own accountabilities and how these relate to other partner's roles. Tip. It is often useful to invite an external person to facilitate this discussion which may touch on individual sensitivities and demand a certain amount of negotiation between the partners. Require all partners to ensure that individual workers are consistently working to the standards described in the competences. Challenge each other on your performance and look for opportunities for joint training and development on areas of common interest.
