ASSURING QUALITY
The Pioneers Project CIC is keen to ensure that it works to best practice guidelines and is safe to operate in the arena it works in. As part of this we regularly undertake work to meet accreditations and quality marks, as well as taking membership to key governing organisations. Here are some of our achievements to date:
UK YOUTH SAFE SPACES
We are completing the rigorous Safe Spaces framework which ensures that our policies, procedures and practices are in-line with the latest guidelines for effective safeguarding with children and young people. The quality mark proves to funders and partner agencies that we are a trusted, professional organisation that works effectively in this area.
AMBITION FIRST STEPS
We achieved this nationally recognised quality mark in September 2018, which proves that we offer good quality, safe provision when working with young people. It recognises the high quality of our services and our commitment to ensuring that we work to the best standards when engaging with young people.
UK YOUTH MEMBERSHIP
This membership gives us access to the latest information and training to ensure we work effectively with children and young people. It also gives us opportunities to access programmes that enables significant growth for participants.
TRAUMA AND MENTAL HEALTH Informed staff
Our directors, Jeff Dawson and April Howell, plus employee Ben Blundy, have successfully completed the Diploma in Trauma and Mental Health from Trauma Informed Schools which improves vital skills to work with young people who have complexities in these areas. Jeff has also completed a Diploma in Counselling Teenagers with the Institute for Arts in Therapy and Education and is a Registered Member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).
