Following a significant restructuring of provision, quality needed to be ensured in all aspects of work. An Excellence Framework was implemented for Management and Monitoring, which focused on raising standards and changing mindset. This framework has now been embedded and the work has borne fruit.
Rather than making arbitrary decisions, data is used purposefully. Feedback is analysed continuously to develop and grow and procedures are implemented for measuring improvement and progress.
The principles of a specific methodology of working are followed within provision, namely operating in a continuous cycle of planning, checking, implementing and learning. To complement this method, the dashboards of another methodology are used, namely visual, proactive action which records all activity and, in particular, the progress of that activity. By using these dashboards, a functional workflow and effective teamwork are ensured which, in turn, lead to success and progress.
