Social Value UK Support

Social Value UK is hosting weekly Ideas Exchanges, these are online discussions taking place on Zoom on Fridays. These are entirely free for members and non-members. Find out what’s coming up and register here.

Social Value UK is offering a range of distance learning options:

OPTION 1) Online Accredited Practitioner Training costing £500 + VAT

We will be delivering our most popular training course; Social Value and SROI Accredited Practitioner training online. Over a 4 week period, this course will cover all of the same content as the 2 day course, delivered through 1 hr sessions of online delivery and group webinar sessions. This is more contact time than takes place on the physical 2 day course and will include some 1-2-1 mentoring.

The next online course will begin on 6th June and will be running for 3 weeks.

This Course and Accreditation

Anyone wishing to become an SROI Accredited Practitioner will need to have attended all of this course. Training does not include or guarantee accreditation, but is a necessary step towards becoming an accredited practitioner. Find out more about Social Value & SROI Accreditation (additional costs apply).

OPTION 2) Social Value International Practitioner Package and Level 1: Associate Practitioner

The Practitioner Package is a dedicated online learning platform that will guide you, step-by-step, through an SROI or Social Impact Report. This package is designed to offer practical support for anyone developing their social impact practice.

It contains a library of resources including templates for data collection and reporting and a series of introductory training videos that help practitioners to prepare for the online exam to become an Associate Practitioner with SVI.

Associate Practitioner applications cost £300 and the Practitioner Package costs £100 for one year of access. Find out more about the Practitioner Package here, and about the Practitioner Pathway here
