Review

Holistic quality cycle

• What is the causal chain linking our plans with young people’s needs (shown by a baseline) and with delivery?

• How does it lead to impact on young people and how do we review our plans?

• How does quality thread through that?

• How does collaboration (including with young people and the workforce) thread through that?

• How would we know we were doing a good job?
