Posted: 3 May 2024 at 8:41 am | Author: CAW Business School
We are thrilled to announce that The College of Animal Welfare/CAW Business School (CAW) has successfully achieved matrix re-accreditation following a comprehensive inspection carried out between the 15-18 April 2024. This achievement underscores our unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional information, advice and guidance (IAG) to our students, employers and those looking to study with us.
The Matrix Standard is a prestigious benchmark for organisations to assess and measure their IAG services. Achieving this re-accreditation is a testament to the high standards we strive to uphold; ensuring that our services are accessible, effectively managed, and of the highest quality.
During the inspection, the inspector noted that staff at the College are well qualified for the role they deliver and that they are passionate about supporting students in a manner that is tailored to their individual needs. Their commitment to providing high quality and effective student focussed IAG was demonstrated by the senior leadership team and down through the organisation.
Some of the key findings in the report that the College was complemented on doing well, include:
- CAW focuses on the fact that their student population has many needs, and they are continually looking to identify how best to support them.
- CAW provide a clear understanding of their IAG and support mechanisms to stakeholders in multiple ways prior to students joining the College. This awareness continues while students are on programme.
- Many students described an excellent approach that CAW take to inform students about welfare, safeguarding, mental health, and all other types of support including careers focussed IAG.
Looking Forward
As we celebrate this achievement, we also look to the future. The matrix re-accreditation is not just a recognition of past and present success; it is also a promise of our ongoing and continued dedication to excellence and innovation. We will be looking to build on the strengths identified and consider the development suggestions. We thank all our staff, students, employers and partners for their hard work and commitment, and contribution during the inspection. Together, we will continue to ensure every student can achieve their full potential.
