What a founding place includes

First in, and permanently on the record

Places are allocated in order of commitment, not in order of enquiry. Founding status stays with you even as your accreditation is reassessed every three years.

Founding discount

25% off the first-year audit and accreditation fee, held for the pilot cohort only.

Founding Organisation status

Named as a founding organisation in the public directory — a distinction that does not expire.

Shape the Standard

Your experience feeds directly into the framework, including the opportunity to join the Advisory Board.

Amplification

Case study, speaking opportunities and PR support around the January 2027 launch.

Six stages, and you decide at every one

From a free diagnostic to annual check-ins — you keep full visibility throughout.

Acceptance onto the pilot is not guaranteed

The scoping session is where we jointly determine whether your organisation is in the right position to pursue accreditation and achieve at least a Bronze level. If it is not the right time, we will say so, work with you to identify what needs to be in place, and welcome you back when you are ready.
