PQASSO is a nationally recognised quality system designed specifically for the voluntary sector, including charities, social enterprises, community interest groups and community groups. It covers eleven key areas of running an organisation including governance, finance and staff/volunteer management.
There are two levels, each subsequent level requiring a higher level of achievement and evidence. We are pleased to announce that Norton Housing and Support has achieved level 2 in all areas. This is an amazing success and demonstrates that we are a growing organisation which has sound systems in place and that we actively listen to staff/volunteers and service users.
The assessor found that; leadership and management, managing people, and learning and development were particularly strong, while the governance and finance areas are well managed.
Just some of the things which our assessor said about us:
‘The core values and beliefs of the organisation are embedded and this is seen through the dedication, expertise and commitment of trustees and staff at all levels’
‘There is also a strong ethos of service user involvement’
‘Managers create an environment where staff can develop’
THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR TRUSTEES, STAFF, VOLUNTEERS AND PARTNERS AND ESPECIALLY OUR SERVICE USERS FOR ALL OF THEIR COMMITMENT AND INSPIRATION!
