SLIDE 4
First evaluation report - key messages
▪ Regardless of organisational size or type, senior management
- wnership is fundamental to ensuring the success and
sustainability of the ASYE programme. ▪ Where there are weaknesses in the link between the ASYE programme and senior leadership, the experience of the NQSW is likely to be poorer and is evidenced by a less cohesive programme. ▪ A clear quality assurance process that informs and drives the ASYE programme is crucial for continuous improvement. ▪ Existing partnerships could offer further support and enable other employers, especially small and voluntary sector organisations, to become involved in and benefit from partnership activity.
SLIDE 5
Key messages (continued)
▪ Organisations need to consider how to embed the KSS and PCF framework across the wider organisation including through better collaboration with universities in recruitment processes. ▪ Assessors need support in their use of the KSS and the PCF in supervision and in their ASYE assessment. ▪ There remain differences in the level and frequency of supervision despite the availability of grant funding. ▪ Workload management clearly remains a challenge. Senior management engagement and support is necessary.
SLIDE 6
Key messages (action for Skills for Care) Evidence gathered during the visits has led us to the view that a restating of the basic criteria for ASYE would be helpful in establishing consistency in quality assurance.
