charity & voluntary sector management standards consultancy

We provide consultancy, advice and support to organisations who want to develop or update their management policies or procedures or who want to take steps to make their activities more accessible and effective.

The best and most appropriate support will vary from organisation to organisation, which is why we'll work out a development plan and timetable tailored specifically to your organisation.

• Initially, we carry out a good practice audit by helping review your existing policy documents, & will consult with staff, managers & volunteers to establish perceived gaps or areas for improvement.
• We'll then suggest & write a SMART* development plan & then help you implement and & monitor it.

As part of this process:

• We can make presentations to staff or governing bodies about best practice.
• We will advise, provide materials and review & assist with the development of written policies.
• We will bear in mind that every organisation is different and every organisation needs a policy which suits their needs and which has been written by the people who will put it into practice.
• Develop and write staff & volunteer manuals covering issues such as recrutment, induction, confidentiality, data protection, training, accreditation, lone working & evaluation.
• Develop & write Toolkits for everyday use by staff, managers and volunteers.

* Stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic & Time Bound
