GASPED has been awarded the Independent Accreditation Programme ‘Quality Mark’ for achieving the LimeCulture: “Quality Standards for Services Supporting Male Victims/Survivors of Sexual Violence”.
The scope of the Quality Mark covers GASPED’s Practical and Emotional Support Services and Counselling Services, which are provided to male victims/survivors of sexual Violence.
This verification helps GASPED to provide assurance to clients, commissioners, funders, Public Health, NHS and other partners. It demonstrates our capability to deliver person-centred and trauma-informed services to help the growing number of anyone who identifies as male that are in desperate need of support for sexual violence.
“It is a huge achievement for our charity, we have been on this journey of supporting increasingly more men and to be verified by LimeCulture with the ability to meet the Quality Standards for Services Supporting Male Victims/Survivors of Sexual Violence is a great accomplishment for all our team here.
This Quality Mark is a testament to the systems and training programs that have been put in place to manage the adoption of the good practices requirements of the standard.” Gemma (Former Operations Manager, GASPED)
