Will there be financial assistance available for smaller organisations to apply for the Quality Badge?
No. The DCSF conducted extensive consultation among LOtC Manifesto partner organisations. The consensus was that a £100 registration fee for Route 1 providers (lower risk activities) was reasonable to cover the costs of administration and assessment visits. The badge will last for 2 years, so this represents an outlay of £50 per year.For the Route 2 providers a far greater degree of assessment, and specialist knowledge on the part of the assessor, is required to ensure that the activities offered are safe and of good quality. Route 2 registration will cost more for this reason; however the price will vary widely to take into account any approved schemes that the applicant already belongs to.
