lDeveloping A Quality
Assurance Policy• Some aspects of the original policy
focused too much on Quality Assurance as driven by SLT. In reviewing the SDP for 2013-16, it was decided that Quality Assurance mechanisms need to stem from the staff and form part of agreed and shared practice. The link between Quality Assurance and Staff Development and Emergent Leadership also needed to be exploited.
