GMCTF Quality Framework
Rationale
The new quality standards will be an addition to the Forum's existing annual monitoring and evaluation framework.
Quality standards have been chosen which:
- Support the development of a professional and accountable CT sector
- Encompass the good practice guidance from the Charity Commission publication ‘The Hallmarks of an Effective Charity’
- Incur a minimal extra administrative burden and are not dependent on any one particular software package
- Are appropriate to the legal and practical framework of the CT sector
- Can be provided at no cost to GMCTOF members
Compliance
CTOs will be required to participate in the annual Monitoring & Evaluation data collection exercise in order to become a member of the GMCT Forum.
Data will provide evidence that they meet with or exceed the indicators set out in the quality framework.
Membership will be available under one of the following membership tiers
Basic membership
- CTOs which comply with all M&E targets and are working towards quality standards.
