Hi Trevor
I'm with you on this. I lead a pilot study on the standard prior to it being launched. We had already gone through ISO9001 and investors in people and I felt that they stood us in very good stead for attaining the final SEQOHS standard. In between I moved jobs and now work for a provider who have SEQOHS accreditation. However, we didn't have it when I started there and we had to work hard as there was still a massive body of evidence to collect but as we were already in the mind set of quality and regular audit, we managed to get through on the day with really fantastic feedback from the auditors.
Tristi
Ps Hope that you are well Trevor
