Quality Assurance

"The term ‘self-evaluation’ is used to cover the way in which individuals and settings explore their progress, development and practice to identify what has improved and what still needs to improve. It is a way of using evidence to assess achievements and success and areas that still need action. The significant relationship between effective self-evaluation and improvement might also be understood to help settings answer the familiar three questions, which remain at the heart of self-evaluation:

• How are we doing?

• How do we know?

• What are we going to do now?"
