Investor in People


In January 2003, a second review was undertaken by the Learning & Skills Council to ascertain how the Project had progressed since the original assessment awarding the IiP standard in November 2001. The Review confirmed that the standards had been maintained and in many cases, had been greatly improved since the previous assessment. Particular areas of the Project's work received positive comment including the level of training support available and the excellent interaction between staff and volunteers. It was also recognised that the Project's trustees, staff and volunteers had a clear sense of the organisation's values, progression and direction.

Ofsted / Early Years


The government introduced a new set of national guidelines for childcare to be operated through OFSTED in 2001, including "Out of School Care". Our Grasshoppers group, which operates the Saturday Club and Holiday Activity Schemes, became subject to those regulations and in October 2003, the group received its first main inspection under the new arrangements. The National Standards cover fourteen areas of the setting including play and care, health and safety, special needs, equal opportunities and transportation. All of our relevant policies are subject to constant review and amended in line with the standards and updated guidance. The "Grasshoppers" setting achieved a "Good" report praising the range of activities arranged and care provided towards the children attending, as all of them require additional support and receive one to one supervision from our dedicated group of volunteers and carers.
