Awards

The Government wants public services for all that are efficient, effective, equitable and empowering — with the citizen always and everywhere at the heart of public service provision.

Charter Mark

Charter Mark is the Government's award scheme which recognises and encourages excellence in public service.

We were first awarded Charter Mark in 1996 and this was renewed in 1999, 2002 and 2006. We are very proud of this achievement as the award recognises our continued commitment to improving service, providing value for money and ensuring openness and accessibility.

Scotland's Health at Work (SHAW)

SHAW is a national scheme, which encourages workplaces to promote the health of their employees by introducing such things as smoking policies, healthy eating choices and providing health information. The aim of this is to improve the health and wellbeing of the workforce in Scotland. Registers of Scotland attained the SHAW Gold Award in 2004.

Investors in People (IIP)

Investors in People is a national quality standard which sets a level of good practice for improving an organisation's performance through its people. The Standard provides a framework for improving business performance through ensuring our staff have the knowledge, skills and motivation to work efficiently and effectively. Registers of Scotland first attained the Standard in 2000 and this has been renewed in 2003 and 2006.
