Trust and accreditations on your site
Trust comes from proof people can check. Show only what you hold. Link out to the scheme’s own checker.
General information, not legal, planning or building-regulations advice. Mentions of schemes are examples only; they are not endorsements, and Web Designer Limited is not connected with those schemes.
Only real, checkable schemes
If you hold CSCS, CHAS, Gas Safe registration, NICEIC, TrustMark or another scheme, say so clearly and link to that scheme’s own public checker or register so a visitor can verify you. If you cannot link to a checker, say that certificates are available on request — don’t invent a badge image.
Examples of official starting points (check the live URL before you publish; schemes change their sites):
- Gas Safe Register — https://www.gassaferegister.co.uk/
- CSCS — https://www.cscs.uk.com/
- CHAS — https://www.chas.co.uk/
- TrustMark — https://www.trustmark.org.uk/
- NICEIC — https://www.niceic.com/
Only list schemes you currently hold. Remove any that lapse.
Logos and artwork
Use logo files only if the scheme’s rules allow it, and follow their artwork guide. When in doubt, plain text plus a link to the checker is safer than a logo.
Insurance
You can say you hold public liability (and employers’ liability if you have staff), and that certificates are available on request. Don’t invent cover levels. Don’t display policy documents with personal data visible.
Company details
Show your registered company name and number if you’re a limited company, and a real contact route. That helps people trust they’re dealing with a real firm.
We can lay out trust sections clearly as part of your site. Contact.
