What is the EQUASS Learning Community (ELC)?
The EQUASS Learning Community is an initiative of the European Platform for Rehabilitation in partnership with Equal-Consulting AS (Norway) and Sinase (Portugal). It serves as an international network of social service providers who are committed to the EQUASS principles for quality and to continuous quality improvement.
The ELC benchmark
The ELC facilitates bench learning based on the EQUASS principles for quality, it allows social service providers to gauge their own position, creates a learning curve to help improve performance and helps boost transparency, profile and image. The ELC benchmarking process is a process of systematically comparing performance as a starting point for improvement, and involves collecting and reporting on data from different social service providers and/or organisational units. All ELC members can compare their performances with those of other ELC members, and in particular with those of their best-in-class peers at both national and international level.
