Trusted Standard is NCVOs quality mark for charities and voluntary organisations. It starts with a self-assessment designed to help staff, volunteers and trustees assess how well their organisation is doing.
Trusted Standard applies to the whole organisation, covering key areas such as:
- leadership and governance
- financial management
- assessing outcomes and impact.
The self-assessment process involves people in the organisation making judgements and providing evidence about the organisation’s performance. These are assessed against a series of defined Trusted Standard indicators, aligned with 11 quality areas.
Organisations that have successfully achieved the Trusted Standard continue to hold the award for three years from the date of issue.
Trusted Standard is delivered by the Growth Company, an NCVO trusted supplier. NCVO will receive a proportion of the income earned by the Growth Company.
