SIGA sees the implementation of SIRVS as a three-stage process. Starting with a pilotprojects to test SIRVS, the system will then rate sporting organisation that have requested a rating before undertaking a wider audit of all sporting organisations (both solicited and unsolicited).

Commenting on SIRVS, Caborn said: “The SIGA Independent Rating and Verification System is the most important implementation tool that builds on the back of the SIGA Universal Standards. The system should enable a credible, independent and robust mechanism to assess compliance with the SIGA Universal Standards, and should stand up to public scrutiny. To this end, we look forward to working with the best-in-class service provider to help deliver on this ambitious vision.”
