Mosaic gains Approved Provider Status in recognition of the quality of its mentoring programmes

Mosaic is delighted to announce that three of our mentoring programmes have been awarded Approved Provider Status (APS) by the NCVO (The National Council of Voluntary Organisations).

The APS standard is the national quality standard designed specifically for all types of mentoring projects and it can only be achieved by demonstrating consistent excellence in the management and operation of mentoring programmes, the identification of need, the recruitment and training of mentors and the quality of the mentoring relationship.

Mosaic has achieved the APS standard for its Enterprise Challenge competition and both its Primary and Secondary Mentoring Programmes.

Jonathan Freeman, Mosaic’s Managing Director, said: “Achieving the APS standard for our three main mentoring programmes is hugely satisfying and is a welcome validation of the high quality of the work that we deliver in schools around the UK. I am well aware of the dedication and passion shown by mentors and Mosaic staff alike but it’s pleasing to receive a public and well-respected affirmation like this. The APS standard will be an added motivation for us to pursue our intention to spread Mosaic’s mentoring programmes into even more schools around the country.”
