Safety standards

We deliver the community micro-enterprise programme in partnership with Community Catalysts and follow the ‘Doing it Right’ standards.

These standards are concerned with operating as a small and sustainable enterprise to provide health and wellbeing support that’s:

  • person‑centred
  • safe
  • inclusive
  • respectful

The standards also specify support that’s underpinned by:

  • integrity
  • safeguarding
  • robust governance
  • continuous improvement
