We at UKGAFL (United Kingdom Global Accreditation Forum Limited) recognize the value of an easy-to-follow and efficient accreditation procedure. Our streamlined, transparent, and easy-to-use accreditation procedure guarantees a flawless experience for any organization looking to become certified.

Initial Contact: When an organization contacts us to indicate interest in becoming certified, the accreditation process gets started. Our approachable and competent staff is always ready to offer advice, respond to questions, and give a thorough explanation of the procedure.

Submission of Applications: Organizations must send in an application form and all appropriate supporting paperwork, including quality manuals, procedures, and other pertinent data. We can evaluate the organization's preparedness for accreditation at this step.

Document Review: In order to determine if the provided papers comply with the relevant standards and requirements, our staff thoroughly reviews each one of them. We make sure that all pertinent data is given and that any possible gaps or opportunities for development are noted.

On-Site Assessment: The organization's operations, procedures, and systems are evaluated on-site by a certified auditor or assessment team. The evaluation is conducted using industry best practices and predefined criteria.

Audit and Evaluation: The on-site assessment includes interviews, observations, and document verification to validate the organization's adherence to the prescribed standards. The auditor evaluates the effectiveness and efficiency of the organization's quality management systems and identifies areas for improvement.

Compliance Assessment: The assessment findings are shared with the organization, highlighting any non-compliance issues and areas that require corrective actions. The organization is given an opportunity to address these issues and provide evidence of compliance.

Accreditation Decision: Based on the assessment findings and the organization's compliance with the standards, a decision is made regarding accreditation. If the organization meets the necessary criteria, they are granted the accreditation, and a certification is issued.

Ongoing Monitoring: Once accredited, organizations are subject to regular monitoring and surveillance audits to ensure their continued adherence to the standards. These assessments help maintain the credibility and validity of the accreditation.

Continuous Improvement: At UKGAFL, we encourage organizations to embrace a culture of continuous improvement. We provide guidance and support to help accredited organizations enhance their processes, systems, and overall performance.

Renewal and Recertification: Accreditation is typically valid for a defined period. Organizations are required to undergo renewal and recertification processes to maintain their accreditation status. This ensures that they continue to meet the evolving standards and requirements.

Our simple accreditation process aims to provide organizations with a clear roadmap towards certification while minimizing complexity and unnecessary bureaucracy. We are committed to guiding organizations through every step of the process, ensuring transparency, fairness, and reliability in our assessments.

At UKGAFL, we believe that simplicity in the accreditation process allows organizations to focus on what matters most – their operations, quality management systems, and commitment to excellence. Through our streamlined approach, we strive to make accreditation attainable, efficient, and beneficial for organizations seeking to enhance their reputation and credibility in the market.
