The matrix Standard consists of 4 criteria known as elements that relate to some of your key business processes and will help your organisation to maintain high standards and continuously improve your services.
It is designed to be entirely flexible so that it can add value from day one, whatever your business, and it doesn’t require you to do anything which does not enhance your everyday activities.
The matrix Standard is an outcome based Standard and it will look at how you are demonstrating quality through three sources of typical evidence:
- TELL: Includes interviews, meetings and informal discussion with a number of people;
- SHOW: Includes looking at policies, processes, records and survey results;
- SEE: Includes observation of the premises, activities, displayed materials, interactions.
There are many benefits of working with the matrix Standard, most importantly around:
- Planning
- Resources
- Information
- Marketing
- Feedback
