Barrie Wyatt News, Quality/PQASSO
I am very pleased to announce that following three days if intensive NCVO training in Nottingham and taking the examination, NCVO have renewed my PQASSO Mentor license. This means that I can continue offering support to charities with their PQASSO self assessments.
Working with Barrie has been a great experience. He has gently and kindly opened our eyes to what compliance with the new Standards meant for us. Barrie looked at the work that we prepared for our meetings, and in discussion, helped us to consider what the standard would be for our setting and how we […]
Barrie has patiently worked with us towards our PQASSO accreditation, despite changes of our staff and the updated PQASSO. Barrie has calmly and kindly helped us to understand the process and explain how best to meet the criteria in a practical and appropriate way, so that the process is positive rather than onerous.

Barrie structured his Organisational Strengths Review to our requirements whilst using the PQASSO framework as a benchmark. Barrie’s facilitation skills and final report have been exceptional.

He is sympathetic and understanding of the voluntary and community sector’s realities and peculiarities; he has quickly got his head around our own organisation’s uniqueness; and he has sensitively made sure that our self-analysis has been thorough.

Barrie has been invaluable in supporting Allsorts through a time of significant growth and change. Initially he came in to the organisation to guide us through a PQASSO level 2 self assessment, and subsequently made an independent evaluation for the end of a Big Lottery grant term, and an organisational strength review for the beginning […]
Forest Pulse first used the Services of Barrie Wyatt from nVision Consulting to advise and support us in relation to the charity applying for PQASSO (Practical Quality Assurance System for Small Organisations). The charity commissioned Barrie following very positive feedback from a closely linked organisation with a very similar remit to ourselves who also used […]
