Annual Self-Assurance & Quality Review

Overview
The closing Inside VET briefing for 2026. Angela walks through how to run a genuine annual self-assurance and quality review — the kind that surfaces real issues, drives meaningful improvement, and gives your Governing Persons the assurance they need going into the new year. Includes the review structure, evidence requirements, and the governance reporting format that turns the review into a strategic input rather than a compliance artefact.
