We’ve recently received two accreditations, the Alcumus SafeContractor Certificate of Accreditation, and the Constructionline Gold Member Certificate of Membership. We discuss below what each means for our business and how they reflect the excellence we provide to our clients.

Alcumus SafeContractor Certificate of Accreditation

To be accredited by the SafeContractor scheme is a market-leading qualification and one we're pleased to have secured. Alcumus supports 'organisations of all sizes to anticipate, manage and avoid risks that endanger their people, their operations and our planet.' This helps in creating a better workplace and a more sustainable one - something we hold close to our values here at Carter Security.

To gain this accreditation, we underwent a 6 step process, working with the auditor to ensure every box was ticked. With this compliance covered, we know that our reputation for excellence is secured.

Constructionline Gold Member Certificate of Membership

This membership demonstrates to our current and prospective clients that we have been subjected to increased scrutiny around the way we manage our business, meeting and exceeding industry standards.

What areas of the business are assessed?

There are several areas of the business specifically assessed for us to receive this certificate, listed below.

• Environmental management
• Quality management
• Equal opportunities and diversity within the business

There are also several points of legislation that are checked, to ensure we’re operating legally. This includes –

• Modern slavery
• Anti-bribery and corruption
• Data protection and privacy
• Drug and alcohol policy

This thorough assessment of our operations demonstrates that we continue to operate at an exceptionally high level, consistently. It shows that we not only hit the basics in terms of legislation but that we go one step further by submitting our business to the scrutiny of a third party. Not just any third party either, as Constructionline is the UK’s leading provider of third-party, technology-enabled qualification and accreditation services. Their standardised prequalification questionnaire is developed by BSI to reduce duplication within the construction industry.
