The Accreditation Bodies are responsible for marketing the scheme along with their Certification Bodies and providing the certificates to those wishing to achieve certification. The Accreditation Bodies and Certification Bodies charge a fee for the issuing of certificates and any related services provided.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 14/11/2018 17:57:44 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
