Quality Mark: Sight Concern Bedfordshire looked into qualifying for a Quality Mark last Summer/Autumn
- We decided to apply for the Commission of Legal Services Quality Mark and
were audited on 26th November 2001.
Needless to say we were awarded our accreditation in the New Year (2002)!
Thanks go to all staff and volunteers who helped us achieve our goal!
