Quality Improvement Protocols
The Bradford Quality Improvement Protocols are currently being put together with a number of components which will enable providers to use a toolkit for self assessment purposes. This will also include a table which shows the RARPA criteria cross referenced to the 5 key questions for Common Inspection Framework. The combined documents will be available shortly in booklet form. A number of schools have expressed an interest in trialling their use and are currently feeding back through the Quality Improvement Network.
