Part A verification is done on-demand by NUS, when unions are ready. It helps ensure you're meeting minimum standards for organisational health, including your statutory obligations.
Part B verification provides unions with an independent, external peer review of their practice. This can be valuable to add authenticity to your self-assessment, build confidence in your work, get an external viewpoint, and gain valuable recommendations for next steps. NUS facitilate a verification process for Part B in Autumn - Winter each year. No verifications will take place outside of this window. This enables easier planning, maximises the opportunity for peer support and creates efficiencies which ensure a consistent, high quality approach to verification.
Verifiers are volunteers, giving their time to enhance the individual and collective capacity of students’ unions/associations whilst also developing their own expertise and skills. If you’re interested in becoming a verifier, visit this page.
Unions seeking Part B verification are charged £900 plus VAT.
