Customer Service Excellence

UCL LCCOS has achieved Customer Service Excellence Accreditation, a government standard awarded by the Cabinet Office.

To achieve Customer Service Excellence Accreditation (CSE), organisations are assessed against 57 criteria in the areas of Customer Insight, the Culture of the Organisation, Information and Access, Delivery and Timeliness, and Quality of Service. We first achieved CSE Accreditation in 2019, and were re-accredited for another three years in 2022. In June 2024 following a Surveillance Visit we were delighted to have been awarded 25 'Compliance Pluses' which are awarded when an organisation has exceeded the requirements of the Standard for an element.

The full assessment in 2022 consisted of a desktop exercise where 240 pieces of documentary evidence were submitted to the CSE Assessor as well as a two-day on-site Assessment. The Assessment involved visits to libraries, observation, presentations by LCCOS colleagues and meetings with academic staff, students and partners in ISD and Student and Registry Services.

The Accreditation process runs in a three-year cycle and there are two annual Surveillance Visits to ensure that CSE is used effectively as a tool for continuous improvement.

““We have been informed that we have achieved CSE Accreditation with full compliance in all 57 criteria for another three years which is a significant achievement for a Division of our size – the first, we believe, in UCL to obtain such Accreditation. We would like to thank everyone who contributed to such a successful outcome.”
