What is Purple Star Accreditation?
The Purple Star brand was developed in 2014 by the Hertfordshire Community Learning Disability Services through the Health Liaison Team [Herts County Council] in partnership with people with a learning disability, people who support them and the University of Hertfordshire Business School.
The Purple Star is a Trademark which is accredited to Primary health services who demonstrate the delivery of high quality reasonably adjusted services to adults with learning disabilities across Hertfordshire, in line with the requirements of the Equality Act 2010.
Like a “kite mark” the presence of a Purple Star at a health service provider indicates that a defined set of standards, as set out in the Purple Star Promise, have been achieved by that health service provider and are consistently being maintained.
