What is Self-Assessment?
From 1 September 2024 LPA accreditation and reaccreditation is changing from a multiple-choice quiz to a new Self-Assessment. This is due to an update to the LPA Rules and Standards. The next time your LPA accreditation falls due, you will be required to complete the Self-Assessment.

Benefits of Self-Assessment

Everything in one
Complete the Self-Assessment and gain all your accreditations in one place. It is now possible for you to gain accreditation across all mandatory modules, additional voluntary modules and MSA accreditation all at once with Self-Assessment. Updates to the LPA Rules and Standards have meant producers can choose to gain additional accreditation with voluntary modules if they wish. Accreditation with any voluntary modules will align with the two-year LPA accreditation cycle and will be included as part of the Self-Assessment tool.
Download Your Recommendations Report
Your personalised Recommendation Report is based on the answers provided during Self-Assessment and can be used to help you identify areas for improvement on-farm to assist you in meeting the LPA requirements. Your personalised Recommendations Report will include guidance and access to resources which are aimed at supporting you in producing safe, high quality and ethically produced red meat.
