How to join Red Tractor Dairy Goats Scheme
- Before applying: make sure you read the membership rules and the standards you must conform to. These detail what you need to do and how you will be assessed.
- To join the scheme: contact SAI Global for an application pack. You can apply to join at any time throughout the year and your membership must be renewed annually. If applying for more than one scheme, ask about any applicable discounts and we will coordinate the assessment together in a single visit where possible.
- Initial Assessment: The assessor will talk to you about your business as you walk together around (or facilitate remote viewing via video-streaming of) the facilities, look at the livestock/crop as applicable and check your paperwork. They will need to talk to your staff too about what they do. Any areas which do not meet the standards (which we refer to as “non-conformances”) will be highlighted
to you throughout the assessment. They are not allowed to advise on, or suggest, how you need to correct things. You will be left or sent a report which will contain details of any non-conformances, an indication of the evidence you will be expected to provide (e.g. invoices, photos, photocopies, letter from vet) - Non-Conformances: You must supply SAI Global with evidence that you have corrected everything as explained in the non-conformance report.
In some cases, a revisit may be required and this may incur a charge. Your application will lapse if you do not correct everything satisfactorily and in good time. - Issue Certificate of Conformity: Once satisfactory evidence has been provided, you will be entered as ‘Assured’ on the Scheme Member Checker database and you can then sell your product(s) as ‘Assured’.
