Sustaining and renewing the Quality Label for Badge recognition

The Quality Label for Badge Recognition (further referred to as Quality Label) signifies a commitment to upholding quality standards in badge-issuing activities. By fostering a community dedicated to delivering quality learning opportunities and skill recognition, it aims to offer additional credibility and reliability in recognising and promoting quality Open Badge issuance practices.
﻿
How shall compliance be ensured after receiving the Quality Label?Once the Quality Label is issued, it has a validity period of 3 years. The Organiser should then renew it by following a shortened procedure aimed at assessing whether the Organiser is consistently compliant with the Quality Label standards, e.g. by providing evidence of at least one of their current staff members having completed the Quality Label online training.
﻿
During the application, each Organiser must provide a quality assurance and improvement plan for the next 3 years, which the evaluators can review when assessing requests for renewal of the Quality Label.
﻿
The Cities of Learning Network’s evaluation committee evaluates applications to renew the Quality Label and makes decisions, which will be communicated to the Organiser in a maximum of 90 days.
﻿
The Quality Label may be revoked before its expiry date by the Cities of Learning Network if the Network receives any well-founded reports of non-compliance about a Quality Label holder. The evaluation committee will investigate such reports before any decision is taken.
If a Quality Label is revoked ahead of its expiry date, the Organiser will be notified via email.
