SOSCN manage Achieving Quality Scotland (AQS). This is a quality assurance scheme designed to help school age childcare services in Scotland improve their practice and ultimately give children and young people within their care the best possible opportunities in terms of play, care and informal learning. Although our training is not currently externally quality assured, we take the same ethos of AQS into our training offerings, regularly reviewing and adapting training content to take into consideration updates to best practice guidance, legislation and membership feedback.
