The TASS Dual Career Accreditation Scheme was created with the aim to recognise an education institution’s commitment to delivering dual career support. The first seven colleges and universities to achieve the Accreditation were commended by Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson at a special reception event in December 2017. More than 30 institutions’ dual career programmes have now been rubber stamped by the scheme, with scores more working towards the Accreditation.
