It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when you know your service’s assessment and rating (A&R) is on the horizon.
Find tools to put your best foot forward and feel prepared, long before your A&R letter arrives, at our upcoming May webinar.
It Takes A Village Professional Support Consultants Aisha and Bryony will share their top tips from years of guiding services through the A&R process, including how to:
Align your service’s philosophy, documentation and daily practice
Build a shared understanding of quality across the service
Make your QIP a live and evolving document
Engage meaningfully with families and children.
Aisha and Bryony will also take you through the common gaps they see in services’ QIPs and reveal simple strategies to enhance your QIP, so it tells your service’s story.
