The Community Shares Standard Mark is awarded by the Community Shares Unit to offers that meet national standards of good practice. These standards ensure that:
· The offer document and application form are easy to understand
· You are provided with all the facts you need to make an informed decision
· The facts are supported by the annual accounts and/or business plan for the society
· Nothing in the documents is purposefully incorrect, confusing or misleading
Societies are asked to sign a Code of Practice requiring them, among other things, to give the public a right of complaint to the Community Shares Unit.
