Course Aims and Objectives
This highly interactive course will take you through the do’s and don’ts of the new QAF. Having a good QAF score is vital to your service, both in terms of keeping your contract and tendering for new business; as we move forward it will become an essential marketing tool for personalisation. Many organisations understand the importance of this framework, and are providing excellent services, but not all understand how best to evidence this through the QAF. Whether you are new to the QAF or are experienced in completing the old QAF this course is an essential. It will help you complete the self-assessment form via the eQAF and prepare your evidence portfolios prior to validation visits. This course aims to help staff:
- Understand the difference between the old and new QAF
- Understand the types of evidence that might be acceptable to demonstrate that services meet Level B or A standards
- To consider what their organisation needs to do in order to maximise the chances of reaching Level B or A
- To practice thinking through how to provide evidence to support the self-assessment of the QAF in specific circumstances
