Sport Associations

Social Enterprise

The organisations can register with the Social Enterprise Mark company and obtain the Social Enterprise Mark.

Social enterprises plough the majority of their profits back into activities that benefit people and planet, rather than just lining shareholders pockets. Inspire Leisure reinvests all its profits back into the Arun area.

'The Mark of Integrity'

You can trust the Social Enterprise Mark to show you businesses that have society and the environment at their heart. The Mark is supported by the Office for Civil Society. The Social Enterprise Mark Company is the only certification authority for social enterprises. Social enterprises have to prove they are genuine against a set of qualification criteria, which is overseen by an independent Certification Panel to ensure fairness and consistency.

STAmark

A quality standard, externally assessed by the Swimming Teachers Association in: Operational Standards, Customer care, Staffing and Management, Services Planning. Our score is currently the highest score in the country at 91%.

The Award has been designed to support continuous improvement, and is underpinned by a series of key principles including:

• A framework for sustaining continuous improvement
• Recognition of good industry practice
• Self-assessment as a 'tool' for service improvement
• A sector specific standard leading to industry endorsement of the swim school
• Externally validates PAS 81:2008

STAmark was created by STA to provide a framework that would support and encourage the raising of standards within this unregulated sector. The STA developed a quality accreditation programme that specifically addressed the business and operational needs of these swim school owners, in order to raise teaching standards, promote learn-to-swim schemes and ultimately give the public confidence in the swim school they attend.
