The Steps to achieving Re-Accreditation
Your Customer First compliance status lasts for two years. To achieve re-accreditation your organisation will have to recommit to working towards achieving the Customer First Standard and maintaining your compliance status for a further 2 years.
There are 7 easy steps:
-
The Reminder
from Customer First UK will be sent to you 6 months before your compliance expires to remind you to contact your assessment body and recommit to the Standard
-
Choose your Assessment Body
from a choice of three independent Assessment Bodies that deliver assessment services on a national basis
-
Contact your Assessment Body
to inform them that you wish to maintain your compliance for a further 2 years and make a recommitment
-
Agreement
between you and the assessor about the scope and scale of your assessment and the contract to deliver the assessment service.
-
Self-assessment
questionnaire to support you and your colleagues to understand how close you are to achieving the Standard.
-
External Assessment
where the assessor meets a range of your people to find out more about how you do things and also assesses the extent to which you meet the Standard.
-
Report and feedback
where your assessor summarises the findings, results and outcome of your assessment and provides some developmental support and action planning.
