About
The Department for Education awarded a contract to The Growth Company Limited for the administration and management of the matrix Standard, a quality standard for the effective delivery of information, advice and/or guidance on learning and work.
The matrix Standard, launched in 2002 and owned by the Secretary of State for Education, promotes high-quality information, advice and guidance by ensuring organisations review, evaluate and continuously develop their services, encourage professionally recognised qualifications, and support continuous professional development of staff.
The standard was reviewed in 2011, leading to a revised version introduced in August 2012, with annual Continuous Improvement Checks added in August 2013 to strengthen commitment to continuous improvement.
