Over a two stage process, the recipients will be selected against a range of criteria which reflect the hallmarks of effective practice and demonstrate a positive impact on the lives of the children supported.
The specific criteria that STARS is interested in are:
- Delivery of programmes that positively affect the lives of disadvantaged children and an ability to measure and demonstrate impact
- Governance and accountability to stakeholders
- Effective finance and administration
- Use of technology and ICT to enhance delivery of programmes
- Innovation and flexibility
- Networking and collaborating with other organisations
- Development of staff members and/or volunteers
- Inclusion and access
STARS would also like to know how organisations would use the Award if they were to be selected as an Award recipient.
Further guidance on all the above is available in the application form.
