SAFECHAIN™ Authorised Partner & Delivery Framework™
Executive Summary
The SAFECHAIN™ Authorised Partner & Delivery Framework™ establishes the governance model for organisations authorised to represent, implement, deliver, support or collaborate with SAFECHAIN™ across different sectors and jurisdictions.
As the SAFECHAIN™ ecosystem expands, implementation will require trusted relationships with organisations that share SAFECHAIN™ values and can support responsible delivery of frameworks, standards, training programmes, assessments, research initiatives and digital services.
This Framework provides the structure through which SAFECHAIN™ can scale through carefully governed partnerships while maintaining quality, consistency, intellectual property protection and organisational integrity.
