Scottish National Standards for Information and Advice Providers – A Quality Assurance Framework 2009
This publication builds upon the National Standards produced by HomePoint in 1995 and revised and re-issued in 2000 and 2006. It is in three sections: Section 1 contains the National Standards; Section 2 contains the Competences for Advisers and agencies in which they work; Section 3 contains the Good Practice Guidance. Contact the Scottish Government for a self-assessment checklist.
Since the original Standards were published there have been considerable developments in the advice world and these are reflected in this new edition which covers housing money and welfare rights related advice. These Standards have been tested in practice with services providing debt counselling, as well as advice on money, housing, income maximisation and welfare rights/benefits.
