  • NATIONAL QUALITY STANDARDS FRAMEWORK 2011 | 2011 02 22

    The National Quality Standards Framework (NQSF) for youth work projects is now ready to be rolled out nationally.

    In brief the NQSF will

    • Provide a support and development tool to organisations and projects
    • Establish standards in the practice and provision of youth work
    • Provide an enhanced evidence base for youth work
    • Ensure resources are used effectively in the youth work sector
    • Provide a basis for whole-organisational assessment

    It is intended to introduce the QSF on a phased basis in Waterford City. Projects will be invited to participate in the first phase of the roll out ie 3 projects to commence in 2011.
