ESCVYS can help you run your organisation to the best of its ability and ensure you have all the right checks in place and are following proper procedures for working with children and young people.
A safe, well run organisation which can show it is meeting all the correct standards is often more successful at applying for funding.
It can also help other groups and statutory bodies have confidence in your group.
We can help you ensure you have all the correct policies and procedures in place and offer advice on funding, training and planning for the future.
ESCVYS can also offer advice on Quality Marks for our members.
