LimeCulture delivers a programme of independent accreditation and monitoring against the following Quality Standards
- Quality Standards for Services Supporting Male Victims / Survivors of Sexual Violence
- Quality Standards for Independent Sexual Violence Adviser (ISVA) Services
Quality Standards are a critical tool for improving the overall quality and consistency of service provision.
The LimeCulture Independent Accreditation Programme awards a Quality Mark to services that demonstrate they meet these Quality Standards through a robust and independent accreditation process.
The services that currently hold the Quality Mark can be found at the links above.
Services take part in a multi-stage process that incorporates a workshop, documentary evidence review, action planning, and group interviews with service leaders and staff. Services achieving the independent Quality Mark are then subject to ongoing monitoring. Services enrol on the Independent Accreditation Programme for a period of three years, starting from the date of the workshop.
Services can express an interest in enrolling on the Independent Accreditation Programme or request a quotation for accreditation or reaccreditation by e-mailing accreditation@limeculture.co.uk.
The fee to join the Independent Accreditation Programme is £3,500 + VAT. This covers one service, based at a single site.
Where there is a shared service delivery model (i.e. management arrangements, policies, procedures) and a single contract in place covering both services, the accreditation cost for the second service will be reduced if undertaken at the same time as the first service. The additional charge will be between £1,000 and £3,500 (+ VAT) depending on circumstances.
Where services are delivered from more than one site and/or a service that requires multiple group interview sessions, there will be an additional charge of between £1,000 and £3,500 (+VAT) depending on circumstances.
Bespoke quotations are available on request. LimeCulture reserves the right to provide tailored quotations for large or complex multi-site provision
For further information please contact accreditation@limeculture.co.uk
The re-accreditation process commences four months prior to the expiry of a service’s current Quality Mark.
Upon successful completion of the re-accreditation process against the Quality Standards, a service may continue to hold its Quality Mark for a further two years.
The re-accreditation process comprises three stages: a written and signed declaration of continuing compliance from the Head of the Organisation, group interviews with leaders and staff, and a dip sample of documentary evidence.
The fee for re-accreditation is £1,500 (+ VAT) for a single service at a single site.
Further services offered from the same site will be charged an additional £500 (+VAT). Bespoke quotations are provided on request for large or complex multi-site provision
