 What about existing quality initiatives?

The existence of other quality initiatives and awards is recognised by Quest, which actively embraces all schemes that help to improve the quality of the service and are not merely 'badge-chasing' exercises. Quest is not intended to compete with other schemes and awards, nor does it require them as prerequisites.
