  • Applied – these are employers who submitted an application at either foundation or achievement level
  • Received - these are employers who have been awarded Good Work Standard accreditation
  • Refused - these are employers who submitted an application but didn’t meet the benchmark
  • Accreditation withdrawn - these are employers who are no longer meeting the requirements of the Good Work Standard or have ceased trading

The difference between the number of applications and the remaining categories is due to employers still working towards submission or employers not completing the process.
