Resource	Description
Handout: ASES Principles	As the ASES Principles apply to all aspects of quality and accreditation, this handout should be widely used and is suitable for all audiences. It can also be used as a poster.
PowerPoint Presentation: What Does ASES Mean for Us? Let’s Start the Conversation	This PowerPoint presentation has been developed for managers, quality managers and other ASES project leaders to use with staff to start developing your organisation’s shared understanding of how the ASES Standards and requirements apply to your service setting. It introduces the key concepts of each Standard with questions for team discussion. It can be used with staff, the Board and any committees associated with ASES implementation.
Handout: Reflective Questions for Teams	A set of reflective questions developed for managers, quality managers and other ASES project leaders to use in team discussion for each of the 8 Standards. Whereas the PowerPoint presentation referred to above is designed to get the conversation about ASES implementation started, these questions are aimed at progressing that discussion and enhancing the organisation’s approach to quality. It can be used with staff, the Board and any committees associated with ASES implementation.
ASES Workplan Template	This Workplan template has been developed for organisations using the ASES Certificate Level Workbook for their self-assessment. Its purpose is to: capture the areas where you need to improve your practices, processes and documentation in order to meet the Standards, and document how this will be done within time frames and responsibilities that you can then monitor.
