PURPOSE 
The purpose of this document is to set out the quality control and assurance framework for 
non-refoulement screening to operate within.  The quality control and assurance measures and tools 
for reporting that wil  be used to implement this framework are detailed in this plan. 
Background 
Coinciding with the operational transition of (the previously named, enhanced) screening from 
Headquarters to the Service Delivery Network (SDN) in 2013, a quality control framework was 
implemented in three stages: 
•  Initial operation stage – occurred during the introduction of enhanced screening’s 
operational responsibility being transitioned to the SDN. 
•  Operation transition stage –occurred when operational responsibility was 
transitioned to the SDN. 
•  BAU stage –operational responsibility was fully transitioned to the SDN. 
 
. This framework has been fully implemented by those with operational responsibility in the SDN and 
exists in two core parts; systems and non-systems quality control and assurance.
