Apply for Safe Minds, Better Work® accreditation.

For consultants, professional services firms, and internal practitioners seeking accreditation to deliver the framework. The application opens a structured conversation about fit, context, and the right pathway.

What it is

A formal capability standard for those who deliver the framework.

Safe Minds, Better Work® is a structured maturity system. Accreditation ensures that the practitioners who deliver it understand how the framework operates, how maturity is assessed, and how governance evidence is produced.

Successful completion qualifies you to deliver the framework, list in the InCheq accredited partner directory, and access ongoing methodology updates and peer community sessions.

The pathway

Five steps from first conversation to accreditation.

  1. 01

    Capability alignment conversation

    A structured conversation with InCheq to assess your professional background, client environment, and delivery context. Confirms accreditation is appropriate and the program meets your needs.

  2. 02

    Framework training

    In-depth coverage of the Safe Minds Index® framework: the 10 Pillar architecture, maturity scoring, benchmarking methodology, and how findings translate to governance evidence and action plans.

  3. 03

    Evidence and documentation standards

    Training in the documentation expectations for accredited delivery: producing board-ready outputs, structuring audit evidence, and maintaining consistency with InCheq's quality standards.

  4. 04

    Assessment and accreditation

    A practical assessment demonstrating competency to deliver. Successful completion results in formal accreditation and listing in the partner directory.

  5. 05

    Ongoing professional development

    Accredited practitioners participate in regular framework updates, regulatory briefings, and peer community sessions to maintain currency as the platform evolves.
