Mentoring and Befriending Foundation: 6. Attend APS preparation workshop

“Quality standards are important. Acquiring the APS demonstrates that an organisation is thinking about the right things in the right way and that it has a desire to improve what it does. This will always stand it in good stead when applying for funding.”
Richard Walton, Programme Manager, Northern Rock Foundation

6. Attend APS preparation workshop

As you progress with the implementation of your action plan you will be able
to attend one of the regional APS preparation workshops. The purpose of
the workshop is to review your progress and determine whether you are
in a position to meet the requirements of the standard.

It will also allow you to share your experiences, learn from other ‘Working
Towards’ applicants and provide an opportunity to ask any specific questions
you may have about your application. This will put you in a much better
position to fine-tune your application before you request an assessment visit.
