The SIQAF and Peer Reviewing

This free service, involves two trained peer reviewers (one lead reviewer and another peer reviewer) who will visit your Supported Internship programme and review your self-assessment score as well as support your continuous improvement efforts with recommended actions and good practice examples.

This process takes one and a half days and if you’re interested in booking a peer review please contact training@base-uk.org, for more information.
