WARNING

We are aware that occasionally NON BORDA members may be displaying the BORDA logo or claiming to offer BORDA training on their promotional materials and web sites.

Although our compliance officer endeavours to correct these claims it is impossible to police all the claims, all of the time.

If an organisation is not listed on the BORDA website it is probably not a member, the only exceptions are provisional members that are working towards full accreditation.

Remember, Only accredited BORDA members have demonstrated an annual compliance with BORDA’s highly respected National Standards.
