Social Enterprise Mark Independent Panel
The Independent Panel exists to protect the consistency of the Social Enterprise Mark and ensure that it is a label customers can trust.
The Independent Panel has the final say on whether or not an application for the Social Enterprise Mark is approved.
All applications for the Mark are initially reviewed against the qualification criteria by the Social Enterprise Mark Impact and Assessment Manager. Any further queries will be followed up at this stage and the findings and recommendations will then be reported to the Independent Panel. The Independent Panel will review these and raise any additional queries of their own before reaching a decision.
