Our Personal Injury Accreditation is a recognised quality standard for practitioners representing claimants and their dependents in personal injury matters.

Membership of the accreditation lasts for three years.

Re-accreditation is a way of assuring clients and key stakeholders that you're up to date with changes in clinical negligence law practice and procedure.

You can apply to be re-accredited up to three months before your accreditation expires.

You must have completed at least eight hours of relevant professional development events in each of the three years prior to applying for re-accreditation. Six of those hours must be structured events, for example webinars and training courses.

Your accreditation may be withdrawn if you do not re-apply before your current accreditation expires.

What happens next
