About the Directory of Approved Consultants
Each of the featured consultants has experience of working with voluntary sector organisations and has passed NCVO’s approval process demonstrating a commitment to providing high quality service. Approved consultants go through the approval process each year so we can be sure they are maintaining the highest standards.
Consultants are assessed against five standards
- Operational standards: NCVO Approved Consultants demonstrate a commitment to providing a high quality service and have clear policies on client confidentiality, a commitment to diversity and an established code of practice and ethics.
- Contract capability: NCVO Approved Consultants have the personnel, the expertise, and the resources to deliver a high quality service on any work they contract for.
- Delivery process: NCVO Approved Consultants plan the delivery process of each piece of work, with effective procedures and systems for achieving a positive outcome.
- Delivery and output evaluation: NCVO Approved Consultants actively seek feedback on both the process and the outcomes of their work.
- Continuous development: NCVO Approved Consultants know their strengths, are self critical, and seek to develop themselves and their services, taking into account the views of users and clients.
