Successful Matrix Re-accreditation
The Matrix Standard is the national quality mark for organisations offering information, advice and guidance.
CG Partnership CIC first gained the Matrix Standard in 2006 and staff are delighted that CGP has just been successfully re-accredited in August 2009. Accreditation involved an intensive two-day visit to the Market Rasen centre and interviews with learners, staff and partner organisations from across Lincolnshire.
The Assessor noted that “All the learners were impressed by the friendliness of the staff who provided the service and praised the support and encouragement that had been given”.
Similar comments were expressed by learners and partner organisations alike:
“I don’t think I would be doing what I am now if it hadn’t been for the folks here … they really have built my confidence and self-esteem” (adult learner)
“What I liked is how they can help you with a CV … then you find out about courses and before you know it, you are getting some proper qualifications” (young learner)
“”Their facilities are excellent because they have really focused upon what the community needs and not what might have been the want traditionally”
(Partner organisation)
“We have a common purpose and so there is a lack of preciousness” (Partner organisation)
