Notice Title

NCS Trust Quality Assessments

Notice Description

NCS Trust uses third party organisations to assess NCS Trust's delivery partners to ensure NCS activities are consistently being delivered safely and to a high standard. Currently the NCS Trust assesses partners for Quality Assurance purposes and for Health & Safety compliance (including safeguarding). As NCS programmes and activities expand, we add new service lines and numbers of participants increase, there is a growing importance on ensuring quality, consistency and continuous improvement. To ensure NCS Trust is able to assess the quality of delivery to the level of detail, scrutiny and scale required, the NCS Trust requires a specialist organisation to undertake quality assurance assessments, a service which has matured since its inception.
