Case Studies

Start360 Case Study |

Start360, the leading social justice charity in Northern Ireland, has become the first organisation in Ireland to achieve both Trusted Standard Level 1 and Level 2 at its first external assessment. This case study follows CEO Danny McQuillan’s account of why Start360 chose Trusted Standard, how they approached the self‑assessment and external assessment, and the benefits they’re already seeing.

YMCA Trinity Case Study |

We discussed their journey with Level One and Level Two accreditation with Trusted Standard with Lucy Watling from YMCA Trinity Group.

The topics covered may be helpful for organisations questioning which level is right for them, the importance of being part of a community and how they knew they were ready for external assessment.

YMCA Wirral Case Study |

We were delighted to interview Nigel Hughes, Chief Executive from a YMCA organisation, and discuss their Trusted Standard Level 1 accreditation. We will explore the challenges faced, the support received, and the eventual positive outcomes of becoming accredited.

The Wallich Case Study |

They achieved their Trusted Standard Level 1 Accreditation at the end of 2023. We had the pleasure of discussing their assessment with Richard O’Brien, Quality Assurance Manager for The Wallich and how there is a perfect link between the IAQF Standard in Wales and our accreditation.

Collaboration Case Study |

Dr Sue Newberry discussed with Manchester Deaf Center (MDC), Breakthrough UK, Coalition of Disabled People and Autisma about the partnership experience within the Action Planning Workshops.

The topics covered may be helpful for organisations understanding the value of Trusted Standard, the importance of being part of a team and the reflection from the workshop.
