EDPQS Toolkit 3 is intended for those wishing to provide training on quality standards in prevention. The training focuses on introducing the EDPQS as an overall framework for thinking about quality, and familiarises participants with how to plan and review prevention activities using the EDPQS. The Toolkit was developed on the basis of several years’ experience of delivering seminars on the EDPQS, as well as in-depth input from a range of stakeholders.
