NAAN is committed to equity, diversity and inclusion, as set out in our EDI Statement. By applying for membership, an individual or organisation confirms their commitment to encouraging and enabling equity, diversity and inclusion.

Members who provide, fund or commission appropriate adult services are expected to be working towards the National Standards. 

We exist to support improvement, and so there is no requirement to be currently meeting all the National Standards. 

One of the key tools the network has is the networking opportunities offered to its members through conferences, network meetings and other events. For networking to be effective, members need to be able to share thoughts, concerns, issues and suggestions in an environment of mutual respect and trust. At times, sensitive information about scheme operations or finances may be discussed. By applying for membership, your organisation:

• agrees to treat all such sensitive information in confidence
• agrees not to repeat confidential information about other schemes outside the network
• agrees not to make use of such information directly in the event of seeking a contract in competition with other NAAN members

NAAN recognises that provider members may legitimately compete for contracts with other members. By applying for membership, your organisation: 

• agrees not to make misleading claims about your own service in this process
• agrees not to undermine, directly or indirectly, the method of work or professionalism of other members.
