Additional Support
As a commissioned service Community Voluntary Sector organisations are required to consider the implementation of the PHA Quality Standards for services promoting mental health and emotional wellbeing and suicide prevention: https://standards.pharesourcehub.co.uk/. Should your application be successful, as a minimum, your organisation will be expected to undertake a self-assessment against the core standards contained within the document (and additional sections if relevant to this project).
