What does the approval process entail?

Consultants must submit evidence every year demonstrating that they meet each of the five standards. They must also provide a list of recent clients. NCVO will consider each application and inform consultants of their success. If successful, consultants will qualify for inclusion in the directory and in addition they can call themselves an NCVO Approved Consultant 2008 and can use the NCVO Approved Consultant logo on their promotional material. There is specific guidance on how NCVO’s Approved Consultant logo may be used.
