Becoming Arb Association Accredited

[Office-lucy]

Hello all!

 

I am new here so please accept my apologies if my post is in the wrong thread - there were so many topics to choose from.

 

I work in HR and the office manager at a tree surgery business. The owners have decided to go for arb accreditation. We have completed a 'desktop audit' and now awaiting an 'onsite assessment'. I was wondering if anyone on here has become accredited and can explain what the assessor on the day will want to see, in terms of the office part of the assessment. Will it be just the set up and security of this or do they want to see further paperwork? I only ask, as the desktop audit was where we provided all the paperwork, policies etc.  I would like to be as prepared as possible for the inspector so it would be great if anybody could elaborate?

 

Thank you to all in advance.

The aa use to do a day course on how to prepare and what to expect on the assessment day.

 

Would be worth signing up for one of still available.

Hi,

The Arb Association will give you all the detail you need as they are not trying to trip you up. They will work with you. It is worth making sure you have everything in place to save the hassle of re- assessment.
