Session Title: An Introduction to Social Traders Certification

Session Synopsis: In this session, we will dive into the Social Traders Certification application process. We will cover the broad context, including the social procurement landscape and the role of Social Traders as well as the specifics of the documents and data that are assessed as part of the certification and the (sometimes unexpected) benefits that you may realise through the certification process. You’re encouraged to bring any questions you have along – and we look forward to answering them in this session.
