The self-assessment process
• Self-assessment is undertaken by the organisation itself
• Involves people making a judgement about the organisation’s performance against the PQASSO standards and indicators
• You identify what is being done well (your strengths) and decide what needs to be improved (your areas for improvement)
• You then work towards an action plan to address the areas for improvement
• Needs to reflect the views of the different stakeholders within the organisation
• Self-assessment is not a ‘one-off’ process
PQASSO: an overview Charities Evaluation Services 2010
Levels of Achievement
There are three levels of achievement in PQASSO
Level 1Sets the minimum requirements that any organisation should meet. Helps organisations to identify and meet their legal obligations.
Level 2Requires organisations to be more strategic in their approach and most policies, procedures and practices to be documented.
Level 3Requires resources and all aspects of organisational life to be systematically reviewed, with reviews resulting in measurable change.
PQASSO: an overview Charities Evaluation Services 2010
• The PQASSO Quality Mark is awarded against the PQASSO standards at level 1, level 2 or level 3
• The PQASSO Quality Mark lasts for 3 years
• The Charity Commission endorses organisations achieving the PQASSO Quality Mark at all three levels and they can use an additional Charity Commission logo. (England Only)
