Quality
Assurance Systems for the Voluntary Sector
Why Use a System?
Whilst the
development of your organisation should be the key reason
for implementing and for using a quality assurance system,
current research shows that funders are increasingly
requiring organisations they fund to implement such systems.
CVS can help your organisation select and implement
an appropriate quality assurance system.
PQASSO
PQASSO is
a practical quality assurance system for small
organisations, or for projects within larger organisations.
It's a low-cost, straightforward quality system, written in
plain English and designed specifically for voluntary sector
organisations.
PQASSO provides a flexible, step-by-step approach to
working out what your organisation is doing well and what
could be improved. By using the self-assessment work pack,
the system helps you to set priorities and improve your
organisation's performance.

Quality First
Similar to PQASSO, Quality First was written
by the author of PQASSO in partnership with Birmingham
Voluntary Service Council. It is aimed at small
organizations which are run solely by volunteers, although
it can be used by organizations with one or two members of
paid staff. It is often a good starting point for
organizations who are unfamiliar with quality assurance
systems
