We are very proud of our Quality Standard Holders. RAN QS Certificate 2021

Next to each organization's logo are details of the scope of the Quality Standard each attained and the date this was awarded to them.

Although it is a condition of RAN Membership, not all of our Members have yet achieved the RAN Quality Standard, but will be working towards that Standard.

Each organization is re-assessed on a regular basis, with the date they passed their last assessment shown here.

Following the COVID pandemic, the RAN Board, in consultation with our members, revised the Quality Standard to include the assessment of delivery of information and advice services remotely, from volunteers’ and staff members’ homes, and online or by video. This revised Standard, Version 4, is now used as the basis of our assessment.
