How do we promote genuine commitment to quality and safeguarding, rather than mere compliance? How do you move beyond quality and safeguarding on paper, to realising quality and safeguarding in practice?

This will be a hands-on workshop. You will be asked to have your examples of your policies and procedures ready so that you can work on them during the workshop. It is a workshop for practitioners who already have a sound understanding of the NDIS quality and safeguarding system and any other quality systems applying in your organisation.

In the workshop, you will learn how to:

• Recognise the difference between systemsthinking and purpose-thinking, and why both are needed in quality and safeguarding
• Assess the needs of clients, frontline workers, CEOs, boards, auditors and regulators
• Determine priorities for action on quality and safeguarding in your organisation
• Enhance the quality management function
• Know techniques for simplifying your quality management system, while enhancing impact
• Implement strategies to build organisational learning

Who should attend?

Quality Managers, the most senior operational manager, and other senior staff involved with Quality and Safeguarding and policy and procedures.
