How does the Knowledge and Skills Framework (KSF) link with Agenda for Change?
The KSF is a development tool which will provide the basis for pay progression within bands. This framework consists of a number of “dimensions”. There are 6 dimensions which have been identified as core to the NHS ie they should occur in everyone’s job and 16 specific dimensions which will relate to some jobs but not others. It is anticipated that the majority of jobs will be covered by the 6 core dimensions and on average between 3 and 6 of the specific dimensions.
