Accreditation

Accreditation is an important part of youth work and many funders now require it in order to back any project. RollingSound are accredited centers for three awarding bodies:

	ABC Awards The ABC Awards can be offered at level 1, 2 and 3 and apply to mainstream GCSE, A-Level and BTEC work. We have created our own year long Multimeida course for Level 2 and 3 and can create courses for shorter periods or specifioc disciplines.
	Arts Awards The Arts Awards can be offered at: Bronze: - Equivalent workload GCSE D- G Silver - Equivalent workload GCSE A - C Gold - Equivalent workload A- Level C Grade The Arts Award is ideal for NEET projects, Peer Mentoring and other Youth Led initiatives. Using an open format the Arts Award allows young to explore a creative area of their choice, research, implement and evidence the work they have undertaken using relevant exercises and up to date ideas.
	AQA Unit Award Scheme This is ideal for shorter courses, week long, after school activities, summer universities and youth clubs. Each Unit Awards needs only a small amount of evidence but a good amount of practical work which can be evidenced by our tutor. Young people can build up a number of Unit Awards to create a larger qualification under the AQA banner.

Evaluation

For the NEET specific ENGAGE projects, RollingSound now use their unique evaluation system created in coordination with the Greenwich NEET MI project and the London East Connexions Partnership (LECP). Individuals are assessed not only on creative skills but more crucially on key Personal Development areas:

Students are assessed daily on their Creative and Personal Development progress, building up a quantitative and qualitative picture of overall individual performance. This information can be used by case workers to assess areas which might need extra work to help individuals into the EET cohort.
