Annual QAF Self Assessment
All Supporting People providers are required to submit an annual QAF self assessment of all SP services to their AA. This information is then included in our data submission to CLG .
In addition to the 6 core standards the Greater Manchester AA's have agreed to include two supplementary standards as a minimum for self assessment. They are -
These supplementary standards were chosen after consultation with service Users.
Providers are only required to submit a summary of their self assessment, I.E. whether you have self assessed as A,B,C or D against each standard. We do not wish you to submit any evidence.
The SP team will use the self assessment scores you supply to input into our risk based monitoring programme.
Please complete the attached proforma and return to pauline.rutherford@oldham.gov.uk by 08/08/08
QAF Self Assessment Summary
The QAF requirements for ‘alarm only’ services is different to the 'staffed' services.
Alarm only services use the QAF Lite and standards c1.3, c1.4, c1.5 and c1.6 are the only applicable standards. (I.e standards 1.1 and 1.2, needs/risk assessment and support planning don't apply to alarm only services where there is no physical response) For each of these you need to tell us how you self assess your services - either a level D (don't comply) or C (comply)
