Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust gains PIF TICK accreditation to become a ‘trusted information creator’
We are proud to announce that the Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust has been awarded the PIF TICK – the UK’s only quality mark for print and online health information.
To become a ‘trusted information creator’, the Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust had to undergo an assessment showing it met 10 key criteria.
This means you can be assured that what you are reading, watching or listening to is evidence-based, understandable, jargon-free, up-to-date and produced to the best possible standard.
Gaining the PIF TICK shows we have a strong process for developing our health information resources. With so much information online, it can be difficult to know what to trust. This quality mark is a quick and easy way for people to be assured our information is reliable and trustworthy. Writing the best possible, reliable information is so important to the families and care teams that we support so we are proud to have received this important accreditation.

The PIF TICK, which launched in May 2020 is run by the non-profit Patient Information Forum (PIF).
