Quality Assurance Framework

Performance Management, Quality Assurance and Scrutiny Framework

The Performance Management, Quality Assurance and Scrutiny Framework for Surrey Safeguarding Children Partnership is currently under review.

Since the publication of Working Together to Safeguard Children 2023, Surrey has been revising and refreshing its governance and partnership arrangements, including the updating of its strategic priorities and the structure of its sub groups and forums.

The revised framework will continue to be informed by the following core principles:

To be clear about what we are seeking to achieve as a Partnership and plan accordingly.
To share common ownership and work collaboratively in both delivering our services and judging their progress.
To deliver our plans with rigour, against goals, targets, and standards.
To use a wide range of tools to help us measure our progress – including interrogating data; learning from audit and listening to service users and practitioners.
To use information and intelligence actively to prompt curiosity, questioning and analysis
To use information and intelligence to challenge ourselves and each other when needed.
To be focused on continuous improvement of services and achieving the best outcomes for our children and young people.
To be open and responsive to external scrutiny, making use of challenge and advice to support our improvement ambitions.

The new framework is due to be published by the end of December 2024.
