Social Value Statement
We help organisations evidence their own Social Value and ESG commitments through accreditation. It matters to us that we hold ourselves to the same standard. Here is how we try to do that as a small, independent consultancy.
Supporting smaller organisations
Our pricing is structured so that small charities and community organisations are not priced out of proper safeguarding accreditation. That includes a lighter-touch Level 1 for organisations without direct contact with people at risk, so a small, under-resourced group can still evidence a safeguarding-aware culture without taking on more than it needs.
A locally based, independent business
We are based in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, and operate as a sole-director, independent company. That is the kind of small supplier Social Value frameworks are often designed to encourage buyers to consider alongside larger providers.
Raising the standard across the sector
Every organisation we accredit leaves with better-trained, better-checked, better-supported staff and volunteers. That is a direct, practical contribution to safer services for the people those organisations support, residents, service users, and communities, not just a certificate.
A note on this statement
This is a short, honest account of what we do, not a formal accreditation or externally verified claim. We are happy to discuss our approach to Social Value in more detail as part of any tender or procurement process.
