Put your hands together and join us in congratulating our member organisation, Positive Steps, who have successfully achieved Action Together's Quality in Action Award!
The Quality in Action Award is a recognised framework for voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) organisations working across Oldham, Rochdale and Tameside to prove their impact. The award is an independent, local seal of approval which publicly demonstrates commitment to safeguarding, quality assurance and continuous improvement.
Positive Steps is a charitable trust that delivers a range of targeted and integrated services for young people, adults and families that recognises the diversity of the people with whom they work.
Martin Sutton, Service Lead at Positive Steps, said "It gives me a great sense of joy to have achieved the Quality in Action Award. I have been working hard towards achieving this and really proud to have been given this award. The Quality Award will show that Positive Steps not only provides an excellent service to clients, it shows we have quality systems in place. I would really recommend getting this accreditation, I thought this would be time consuming but I was able to fit the work needed alongside my day to day work duties. The support from Adele, at Action Together was excellent, the process was smooth and at a nice pace."
How can my organisation apply for the Quality in Action Award?
You'll work alongside one of our dedicated Development Officers to meet criteria that ensures your organisation has the right things in place, with practical advice, resources and support to help you develop the policies and procedures that are right for you. The QiAA is free and open to groups of any size. By achieving the award you'll be able to demonstrate to local commissioners, funders, beneficiaries and other stakeholders that you are delivering quality activities and services.
