Quality Standards Committee

The Quality Standards Committee is made up of volunteer representatives from a wide range of youth work roles and organisational backgrounds.

The QS Committee members monitor and accredit the award of The NYA Quality Mark: Towards better services for young people. The QSC also provides an opportunity for the discussion of quality issues in youth work and services for young people, including standards, targets, performance indicators, management information and quality assurance processes. The Committee members meet at least three times a year.
