Level 1 Social Value Associates
As a Social Value Associate, you’ve shown you understand the principles that underpin credible impact measurement, and that you can recognise good practice when you see it.
That makes you a trusted voice in the room, whether you’re shaping a community investment strategy, commissioning an evaluation, or asking the right questions of a report.
Keeping your status current shows your knowledge is fresh, your commitment is ongoing, and your foundation is ready to build on.
Benefit statements
Informed judgement. Your status confirms a solid grasp of the Social Value Principles, so you can assess the quality of impact claims with confidence.
A credible advocate. Associate status helps people know enough about the SVI Framework and its benefits to advocate for applying the Principles, inside your organisation and beyond.
Better conversations with clients and partners. You can scope, commission, and challenge social value work from a position of understanding.
A clear next step. Associates can progress to become Level 2 Accredited Practitioners or Level 3 Advanced Practitioners. Current Level 1 status keeps that pathway open.
Part of the community. SVI extends guidance and support to Associates, including access to SVI events and networking opportunities.
