The Annual Self-Assessment rates your organisation against twelve standards as Met, Partially met, or Not met. It takes about two hours, and it produces a single page you can take to your board.
Tell us — it takes a minute, and it helps us show funders that this work matters.
You may download, adapt, translate and republish any of these materials, including in your own training. We ask only that you credit the Safe Spaces project.
