Accreditation decisions

Every register undergoes a full assessment against our Standards for Accredited Registers at its initial accreditation and then once every three years. We undertake annual monitoring between full assessments to check for any significant changes. 

We also make decisions outside the regular assessment cycle, including applications from new organisations, preliminary outcomes for applicants, appeals, and changes to Accredited Registers' status such as suspensions or withdrawals.

For information about Accredited Registers, use the directory link below.

For other types of accreditation decisions, see the sections further down this page. Please note that reports issued before July 2021 were assessed under our previous Standards.

Please contact the team to request old decisions.

Applications for Accreditation

The organisations below have made an application for accreditation and we are currently assessing the submission against our Standards for Accredited Registers.

Standard One Provisional Assessment
  • International Federation for Counselling and Therapeutic Choice (IFTCC)
Full Application
  • Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine (ATCM)

Provisional Standard One Outcomes

The organisations below have not yet been fully accredited. These organisations and their registrants cannot use our Quality Mark. 

Before submitting a full application, prospective Accredited Registers may apply for provisional assessment against Standard One, which covers eligibility for accreditation and the public interest of accreditation. More about how we assess against Standard One can be found in our Supplementary Guidance for Standard One.

Targeted Reviews

In some cases, we might need to undertake a Targeted Review of an Accredited Register. This could be triggered by concerns at an annual check, or concerns raised in-year though our ‘Share Your Experience’ process. Below you will find links to Accredited Register directory pages if we are currently conducting a Targeted Review or we have published a Targeted Review report in the last 12 months. 

Notifications of Change

Once accreditation has been granted, a register must tell us of any significant changes it has made or plans to make that may affect whether it meets our Standards for Accredited Registers. Below you will find links to Accredited Register directory pages if we are currently considering a notification of change or we have published a notification of change report in the last 12 months.
