Independent Social Value Audit and Verification

Our Services

You’re in the right place.

Whatever your social value needs, our experienced, passionate team are ready to help. We promise integrity, transparency and people who are great to deal with.

Because we are ‘true independents’, we work across the market, recognising multiple methodologies and frameworks.

Pre-Audit

If you’re unsure whether your organisation is likely to achieve an award, you can apply for a pre-audit. This identifies gaps in your evidence, management, understanding and processes ahead of an official audit. You’ll also receive an action plan based on the findings, to give you a greater chance of success.

Audit and Verification

For independent verification of your organisation’s value, commission our audit services. Audits take place either onsite or remotely, and analyse your information, case studies and processes to verify your claims. We also engage with your staff and stakeholders to understand how social value is perceived and delivered within your organisation.

Accreditation

We exclusively award the Social Value Quality Mark® – the UK’s most rigorously tested accreditation for values-led business. Please visit our Awards page for more information about the process and the benefits.
