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.
