Quality Schemes

Getting it Together - A Guide to Quality Schemes and the Delivery of Public Services New item - comprehensive guidance on public sector policies and quality schemes. This guidance follows on from the Guide to Quality Schemes and Best Value and is intended to help all public sector organisations get to grips with the nature and value of the main quality schemes (Charter Mark, EFQM Excellence Model, Investors in people and ISO 9000). It explains the benefits to be gained from these schemes, how they fit together and how they can help deliver Government policy on the ground. Practical experience is illustrated through a range of examples taken from across the public sector. Much of this experience is relevant across the board and not just those areas they have been drawn from.
