Quality Standard Holders

We are very proud of our Quality Standard Holders.

Next to each organisation'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 organisation is re-assessed on a regular basis, with the date they passed their last assessment shown here.

In 2020, the RAN Board, in consultation with our Members, agreed to revise the Quality Standard to V3, to also include the assessment of delivery of Information and Advice services remotely, from volunteers' and workers' homes, and/or by remote means such as online or by video. This revised Standard is now being used as the basis of our assessment.
