Quality Standards
There are a number of different Quality
Standards in existence that provide information and guidance to the
VCS and help organisations to assess, evaluate and quality assure
their services. Below are just few examples.

and evaluation systems for the voluntary sector.
It provides training for voluntary organisations wishing to
self-evaluate or implement a quality assurance system. CES
