Quality development framework for extended services

The Quality Development Framework (QDF) is a flexible self-evaluation tool which supports review and self-assessment, planning and quality assurance. It is a framework for schools, Children’s Centres and multi-agency partners working as Consortia to deliver Extended Services, which recognises the complex and developmental nature of this process. Engagement with the QDF will contribute to the completion of Schools and Children’s Centres’ Self Evaluations Forms and provide an evidence base to support other Self-Evaluation processes and Quality Assurance systems.
