Why is this important?

Our clients deserve a consistently high quality of service wherever they go. By introducing common principles and standards we have the opportunity to increase predictability, confidence, quality, and outcomes.

What is this?

A set of principles and standards used by all service providers to deliver consistent practices and quality.

Almost all unified groups of professionals, such as teachers, nurses, and therapists are bound by a shared set of principles and standards. As a unified group of professionals within the Linker Network, we need a comparable set of principles and standards to align our work.

The principles and standards will clarify our purpose, help us focus on what does (and does not) need doing, and support clear and consistent decision making.

What is this not?

It is not a checklist of dos and don’ts.
