This quality standard award gives organisations and placement holders assurance that the work experience on offer reaches the highest possible standards.

The standard which aims to support a good level of standardisation and consistency of offer between organisations across the country also allows an appropriate amount of flexibility to acknowledge that work experience placements are offered in a variety of different ways.

To be awarded the standard, organisations must demonstrate how the work experience placements they offer are planned, delivered and evaluated.

Health Education England then awards a bronze, silver or gold quality standard award which lasts for two years and can be displayed in order to demonstrate that it meets the standard.

Sarah Wales, Widening Participation Project Coordinator said “We’re delighted to announce that the Trust has been granted Work Experience Quality Standard Bronze Award status.

“In just under 6 months our Work Experience Programme Coordinator Lewis Armstrong has worked extremely hard to develop and deliver an amazing work experience offer for the Trust and its participants and, great plans are in place to further grow our programme in the New Year.”
