✔ Clear Framework: Ideal for new VCFSE organisations, providing a roadmap for essential policies and practices. Supporting information and resources available.
✔ Effective ‘MOT’: Established organisations can use it to prioritise areas for action with an accompanying plan.
✔ Leadership Tool: Helps senior managers identify strengths and areas for development.
✔ Staff Engagement: Involve your team in discussions about creating a safe, well-run organisation.
✔ Growth Preparation: Identify policies and procedures needed for future growth and funding.
✔ Access support: As you complete your self-assessment you can request support from CAS on individual indicators; and when you submit your report this will be sent to CAS and they will contact you to discuss your areas of identified support.
‘It’s a useful tool helping shape discussions in our organisation so we can all get ‘on the same page’.
