Experience in providing support for voluntary, community and faith sector organisations on the PQASSO quality standard. We work with your key people to identify what you currently do that meets the standard and together decide on any improvements that you can make as you work towards achieving Level One. Through this approach you will be able to decide if your organisation will also benefit from advancing to levels 2 and 3. We find that a one to one approach is very successful and often combine this with email support as you work on improving your quality processes.

Assessment centres – provide support for your Centre or develop and run your activity for you.
