What is the Matrix Standard?

Matrix Standard logo


The Matrix Standard is the Department for Education’s (DfE) standard for ensuring the quality of the delivery of information, advice and guidance (IAG). It helps providers to improve their services by benchmarking against best practice and it offers accreditation to those that meet the full standard. When an independent assessor confirms that all criteria are met, the organisation becomes an accredited organisation and can display the matrix quality mark to demonstrate that it offers high quality IAG services.

Services for Young People is fully Matrix accredited.
