NATIONAL QUALITY MARK EQUALS NATIONAL RECOGNITION FOR CORNWALL NEIGHBOURHOODS FOR CHANGE

CN4C has been accredited with the nationally recognised quality mark for organisations which provide support to individuals to make learning and work more accessible – the matrix Standard.

CN4C gained accreditation to the matrix Standard across the organisation in November, when the organisation demonstrated that we provide information advice and support across the whole range of activities that we undertake which includes the Work Programme, Adult Careers Advice, Adult and Lifelong Learning, Community Development, Health Work, Youth Work, Parenting Skills, Children Centres, and Environmental Projects.

CN4C works with thousands of clients each year and we wanted to ensure that all these different groups and programmes were receiving the best information, advice and guidance possible. The organisation decided that the matrix Standard, amongst other things, would help it to demonstrate the high standards the organisation sets itself and as the award of the matrix standard proves, achieves this with the individuals and community groups that it works with.

 The matrix standard has enabled Cornwall Neighbourhoods for Change to demonstrate the passion and commitment that exists across the organisation for working with individuals and communities to overcome disadvantage, and gain learning, skills, and employment.

 David Allan, Managing Director at emqc Ltd said of the organisation’s achievement:

 “This matrix Accreditation is another example of how the matrix Standard is proving effective for all types of organisations, helping them to provide a more professional service offering and to strive to be the best in their sector.”
