Gillick competence is a term originating in England and is used in medical law to decide whether a child 16 years or younger is able to consent to his or her own medical treatment, without the need for parental permission or knowledge.

The case is binding in England and Wales, and has been approved in Australia, Canada and New Zealand. Similar provision is made in Scotland by The Age of Legal Capacity Scotland Act 1991. In Northern Ireland, although separate legislation applies, the then Department of Health and Social Services Northern Ireland stated that there was no reason to suppose that the House of Lords decision would not be followed by the Northern Ireland Courts. The Gillick decision The Gillick case involved a health departmental circular advising doctors on the contraception of minors for this purpose, under sixteens . The circular stated that the prescription of contraception was a matter for the doctor s discretion, and that they could be prescribed to under sixteens without parental consent.

Multi competence is a concept in second language acquisition formulated by Vivian Cook academic Vivian Cook that refers to the knowledge of more than one language in one person s mind . ref name Cook2008p11 Harvnb Cook 2008 p 11 . ref From the multicompetence perspective, the different languages a person speaks are seen as one connected system, rather than each language being a separate system. People who speak a second language are seen as unique multilingual individuals, rather than people who have merely attached another language to their repertoire. The concept has been backed up by studies showing how the different languages a person learns affect each other. The phenomenon of language transfer , or the first language affecting the second, has long been known. More recent research has also shown that the second language also affects the first in various subtle ways. There is also evidence that people who learn other languages gain general cognitive benefits. Under multi competence, the second language speaker is seen as more than the sum of the languages he speaks. This is in contrast with the assumption in much of second language research that the ideal model of a language is the monolingual first language native speaker . Setting the native speaker as the golden standard implies that second language speakers are somehow deficient in each language that they speak, whereas multi competence sees them as having gained from learning a second language. To avoid implying deficiency on the part of second language speakers, Cook prefers the term L2 user to L2 learner . An L2 user ... of competence as native speakers. In fact, by definition, they can never become a native speaker ... Multi competence has two major implications for language teaching.

orphan date March 2009 Cross cultural competence refers to the knowledge, skills, and affect motivation that enable individuals to adapt effectively in cross cultural environments. Cross cultural competence is defined here as an individual capability that contributes to intercultural effectiveness regardless of the particular intersection of cultures. Although some aspects of cognition, behavior, or affect may be particularly relevant in a specific country or region, evidence suggests that a core set of competencies enables adaptation to any culture Hammer, 1987 . Cross cultural competence is not an end in itself, but is a set of variables that contribute to intercultural effectiveness. Whereas previous models have tended to emphasize subjective outcomes, by focusing primarily on adjustment, outcomes of interest here include both subjective and objective outcomes. Objective outcomes, such as job performance, have been addressed in previous research, but to a lesser degree than the subjective outcomes. Research indicates that the outcomes are linked, with personal and interpersonal adjustment linked to work adjustment, which has in turn been linked with job performance Shay & Baack, 2006 . However, these relationships are small, and some research has demonstrated that subjective outcomes can diverge from objective outcomes Kealey, 1989 , with expatriates sometimes showing relatively poor adjustment but high effectiveness in their organizational role.

More footnotes date May 2010 Competence or competency is the ability of an individual to perform a Employment job properly. A competency is a set of defined behaviors that provide a structured guide enabling the identification, evaluation and development of the behaviors in individual employees. As defined, the term competence first appeared in an article authored by Craig C. Lundberg in 1970 titled Planning the Executive Development Program . The term gained traction when in 1973, David McClelland , Ph.D. wrote a seminal paper entitled, Testing for Competence Rather Than for Intelligence . It has since been popularized by one time fellow McBer & Company Currently the Hay Group colleague Richard Boyatzis and many others. Its use varies widely, which leads to considerable misunderstanding. Some scholars see competence as a combination of knowledge , skills and behavior used to improve performance or as the state or quality of being adequately or well qualified, having the Skill ability to perform a specific role .
