Quality in Study Support (QiSS)
The QiSS recognition scheme promotes quality in study support and provides a structure and a process for the quality assurance of study support delivered through schools, Playing for Success centres, summer and children’s universities and voluntary and community organisations.
QiSS has been built into the support and challenge mechanisms for PfS as the national award for quality in study support and, to date, 82 PfS centres have successfully submitted for recognition at Emerged level. Thirty eight centres have progressed to Established level and ten have now achieved Advanced status. A number of centres have revalidated status after three years, indicating that they have sustained good practice at that level.
