PQASSO (Practical Quality Assurance Standard for Organisations) is a quality standard designed for the voluntary and community sector.
Organisations can choose to use the criteria as a self-assessment tool or can go on to external accreditation and gain the Quality Mark at one of three levels, all of which are recognised and approved by the Charity Commission.
This half day course provides an excellent introduction to this quality standard, which is now used by some statutory authorities as a pre-requisite for funding.
