How to sign up to the Day Centre Standards

Centres which are satisfied they fully meet all the standards may also self-certify that this is the case. To do this, the board of trustees must:

• Satisfy itself that the centre meets the standards by reviewing the appropriate documentary evidence - see appendix A of the standards pack (PDF) for guidance on evidence
• Pass a resolution to that effect
• Maintain a record of the evidence collected, making it available to be viewed by interested parties by application
• Approve an action plan for maintaining compliance with the standards
• Inform the London Housing Foundation using the form in appendix D of the standards pack (PDF).

On receipt of the form, the Foundation will add the centre’s name to the list of self-certified centres published on its website, and will provide the centre with an electronic copy of the logo if it has not already done so. Use of the logo is by permission of the Foundation. In order to continue using the logo, the centre’s trustees must:

• review compliance and report annually to the Foundation using the form in appendix E of the standards pack (PDF).

All information provided to the Foundation will be kept confidential and will not be shared with any third party. The Foundation in its absolute discretion may withdraw the right to use the logo in the event that annual updates are not submitted.
