The matrix quality standard in the UK
The matrix Standard is a quality framework for the effective delivery of information, advice and/or guidance on learning and work, designed to promote continuous improvement amongst individuals and organisations. Organisations are assessed every three years by externally appointed assessors and are required to seek continuous improvements in the way they deliver their service. The matrix Standard was launched in February 2002 and revised in 2005. In 2011, a restructured and revised version was trialled with organisations accredited or likely to seek accreditation against the Standard, and was confirmed as being more robust but achievable. The organisations valued: the alignment with business processes; the increased focus on outcomes; the links between organisational aims and objectives and service outcomes; the focus on staff development; and the use of targeted evaluation to support continuous improvement. The matrix Standard has been adopted by a range of organisations across the UK and there is an increasing international interest in the Standard. Over 2,100 organisations are accredited under the Standard. It is the intellectual property of the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) and is Crown Copyright.
