Independent Quality Assurance Panel Members

Rape Crisis National Service Standards 2024/2025

Independent Quality Assurance Panel Members

We are seeking to recruit four people to form an Independent Quality Assurance Panel (IQAP) as the final part of the Rape Crisis National Service Standards (RCNSS) Accreditation process for members services of Rape Crisis England and Wales (RCEW).

This will involve participating in three full-day online Panel meetings during February – March 2025, undertaking the following key tasks:

• Preparation – reading summary reports and recommendations regarding each RCEW service
• Examining, clarifying and making decisions as a Panel, to verify that the evidence recorded is sufficient to demonstrate the member service meets the RCNSS
• Making and recording recommendations around any further evidence required to meet the RCNSS

IQAP members are offered work with RCEW on a third-party sub-contract basis, with remuneration at a fixed day rate. Dates of each full-day online meeting are yet to be fixed but will all take place during February and March 2025, and you will be asked in the application form for any dates to avoid. You must be in a position to commit to all three Panel meeting days.

For further information, please see the contract specification.

If you are interested in carrying out the role of the RCNSS Independent Quality Assurance Panel Member (as an independent contractor) on behalf of Rape Crisis England & Wales, please refer to the Contract Specification and complete this form by 12 noon on Monday 16th December
