NCVO and Serco to set Good Practice Standards

11 Feb 2013 - 17:13 by Nigel Rose

NCVO (National Council for Voluntary Organisations) and Serco, a company that holds a wide variety of government contracts, are to agree together a set of quality standards for the relationship between prime contractors (often known as primes) and sub-contractors. These standards will cover areas such as risk, fair payment and how much support is offered by the prime. These will represent good practice and will not be legally enforceable. The time-scale is rapid but there is no date set as yet.

So far none of the commissioning bodies in Manchester have indicated how they are intending to implement the Act.

A useful guide has been produced by Social Enterprise UK.

Hi, and welcome to the new VYM Blog. Although this is entered as Ross’s blog, VYM is much more than Ross Grant, but more of that later. In particular though, it is also Sarah Gilston, VYM’s much valued Communication Support Worker, without whom you would receive very limited communication from VYM, and there's the Board of Trustees that governs and supports VYM staff.
