What to know more about work of the Pilot?

The quality mark pilot project is a development program, which started last summer with 35 clubs and is due to end this Spring.

Using a quality assurance framework originally devised by the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Youth Options, called Assured Quality for Youth Projects (AQYP), it has been specifically designed for youth organisations with two clear aims in mind

• It aims to measure the quality of service being delivered to young people
• It wants young people to recognise the award as a sign of high quality

The framework is arranged into three levels: Bronze, Silver & Gold, with each level realizing the following benefits:

• Ensures up to date policies and procedures are in place
• A way of gathering evidence to allow self-assessment
• Supports the Five Outcomes of Every Child Matters
• Ensures that young people are involved
• Demonstrates ability and willingness to provide the best possible services
• Will support future development and sustainability for your club
• Assist with funding applications and partnership working
