The Accreditation Network UK is a central resource for tenants, landlords and scheme operators interested in accreditation of private rented housing..
ANUK was formed in May 2002 to publicise, promote and share good practice in accreditation. This was in response to increasing interest in accreditation, including in government and amongst higher education institutions, student representative bodies, local authorities, tenants and private rented sector landlords across the UK.
