This is our seal of approval for documents not suitable for the Crystal Mark. Eligible documents include those which are regularly issued with new or revised content such as magazines and newsletters.

When we assess a document as part of an ‘Approved by’ accreditation, we carry out rigorous checks, like those we use with the Crystal Mark. We’re looking for clear layout and design, and audience-appropriate language.

We ask to look at three issues before we can approve them, and we then look at each issue as it’s published. If necessary, we then give you relevant feedback.

We charge £550 + VAT for our initial assessment and a £500 yearly charge to keep using the ‘Approved by’ logo.
