Quality Award Readiness Checklist
We are excited that you are considering the Quality in Befriending Award. This self-assessment form will help you to be ready to do the Award.
The Award requires you to demonstrate evidence of indicators linked to each theme in this checklist. This might be a policy, procedure, process, report, letter, email, or example from practice. Tick the box if you feel able that you could provide evidence that you have this in place.
If you need assistance with this form or require it in another format please contact us info@befriending.co.uk
Once you submit the form a member of staff at Befriending Networks will get in touch with you about the next steps on your Quality Award journey. We look forward to supporting you to achieve Quality in Befriending.
