Quality improvement planning: Creating a QIP that works for you
Professional development for early childhood professionals
Quality improvement plans (QIPs) are both essential to improving your service for children and families, and a requirement of both the law and the National Quality Standard. But QIPs can be challenging to manage – some gather dust while others balloon out of control. Our quality improvement planning packages will support your team to reflect on your current QIP, explore strategies to manage the admin process and incorporate stakeholder feedback, and develop a QIP that truly improves your service. You’ll also explore how the QIP is used differently for assessment and rating versus driving improvements at your service.
