Can anyone point me in the right direction for the correct standard for terminating cat6 cabling on a patch panel. We have had some new wiring installed but the "professionals" have removed the outer casing of the cable (fortunately havent untwisted each pair!) from the side of the patch panel to each socket!

The outer casing should only be stripped back as far as is necessary to terminate it.
What you describe sounds like what you'd see with telephone cabling. The outer casing stops at the end of the patch panel and you have the individual pairs visible across the back of the panel. For multi-pair telephone cabling it's the only real option, and it doesn't matter as each pair is an individual circuit.
