"As a small organisation with only two part-time staff, we were concerned about how much work would be involved and the level of understanding of a charity of our size compared to much larger bodies, but we believed in the quality of our information and wanted the opportunity Information Standard [The Information Standard Certification provides an easy way to identify quality information which you can trust.] provides to show it's value. From our first meeting with Kathy from RSPH, it was obvious that she had carried out some research to assist her in understanding the size and set-up of Down's Heart Group and her guidance proved invaluable in taking us through the certification process.

There was quite a lot of work that we needed to do, but it has been an extremely useful exercise for the charity and formally documenting some of the processes that we already had in place as well as agreeing new ones with our trustees, will have impact on our efficiency of working in areas beyond those directly involved with Information Standard [The Information Standard Certification provides an easy way to identify quality information which you can trust.]. We feel that it has been a most worthwhile process and look forward to working with RSPH in the future during our annual audits, we would not hesitate in recommending them to any organisation considering the Information Standard [The Information Standard Certification provides an easy way to identify quality information which you can trust.]."
