Award structure

The award is free and supports all types of employer: public, private or those in the voluntary sector. It's available for all sizes of organisation: small, medium or large. You'll gain recognition for your efforts and be awarded a certificate. It also allows you to progress through bronze, silver to gold certification.

Once awarded, the certificate is valid for two years. To progress to the next level before the end of the two year period, you can ask to be reassessed.

As part of the award you'll find out what you are already doing well and where you can improve. You may already meet many of the criteria. You'll also get ideas and targets to work towards, which you can include within a plan of action.
