MCRactive Providers Quality Assurance Framework

A Quality Assurance Framework is in place to ensure any providers (i.e. contractors, organisations, clubs, individuals or community groups) who will feature on mcractive.com and across our social media platforms have sufficient procedures in place to ensure they are compliant to safeguard children and young people, and can deliver to vulnerable adults.

All providers will be quality assured annually to verify their procedures are kept up to date, and comply with the minimum of any one the following operating standards.

This ensures MCRactive continues to set the benchmark on quality whilst providing a robust process and the confidence for all providers and activity participants relating to safeguarding, welfare, quality of all our providers and the information presented.
