  1. As someone not working in the centre I find this really interesting. I am also really pleased to see that your blog is part of your communications strategy – I think that’s very forward thinking.

  2. Perhaps the communication arrangements around the service improvement plan should also include the channels of communication with service clients, such as students, parents/carers, colleges and employers? These external channels help provide feedback for monitoring and evaluating the improvement system, and taking corrective action.

    You are right to point this out and this is something which we are developing through things such as SELS, the on-line Standards and Quality Report, school visits and exc-el.

    It was just that some people said they didn’t know what was going on with the service improvement plan and we thought it might help to outline what we do to inform people at the moment.
