Inclusive Service Standards
An Organisational Audit Tool has been added to the suite of resources on the Inclusive Service Standards. The tool sets out a series of performance measures designed to assist service providers to meet the Inclusive Service Standards. Using this tool organisations are able to review current practices against each measure, identify areas for improvement and undertake further planning and development.
