SRAG Membership Enquiry

The SRAG is not just a network. It is an employer-led social value framework supporting better hiring, stronger governance, and measurable social impact.

If you believe recruitment can be fairer, braver, and more meaningful, and that social value impact matters - you're already one of us.

The Social Recruitment Advocacy Group (SRAG) brings together employers of all sizes who want to make hiring more human and more socially impactful.

It provides a structured approach to social value delivery, combining practical recruitment support, governance, and independent progression through the SRAG Charter Mark.

From Lidl and IKEA to DHL, Currys, Mitie, Unipart, Sureserve and many more, SRAG members share one thing: a commitment to doing work that feels worth doing.

Founded by PeoplePlus – the UK’s largest prison education provider and pioneers in inclusive recruitment – SRAG supports employers across England and Wales with a practical social value framework rooted in real delivery.

Here’s what that looks like in practice:

You’ll get hands-on support to embed social value into hiring practices, with practical guidance that stands up to procurement and reporting scrutiny.
You’ll gain access to the SRAG Charter Mark - a step-by-step framework for meaningful, measurable progress, used by employers as a recognised progression and assurance model,
You’ll work alongside partners like ANTZ, Standing Tall, Springpod, Ride Tandem and experts with lived experience, not just consultants.
You’ll be part of conversations that shape strategy at the highest level - including Westminster.

And you won’t be doing it alone. You’ll be doing it with people who believe what you believe:

“The SRAG, chaired by the Rt. Hon. Anne Milton, is a powerful network of employers and organisations working together to champion socially responsible recruitment - an approach that opens doors for those who face barriers to employment and helps build a more inclusive future."
- Gateway Qualifications, Silver Charter Mark holder and SRAG Member, 2025

“Always a pleasure to be part of this wonderful group of organisations as we focus today on addressing the employment readiness gap - I'll spend the day working with a room full of people driven to make the biggest social impact they can!"
- Sodexo, Ambassador Charter Mark holder and SRAG Member, 2025

This is a moment of momentum.

The Get Britain Working white paper has put inclusive hiring front and centre.

The Procurement Act and the new Social Value Model are raising the bar on social value measurement.

And the Social Recruitment Covenant, launched by SRAG members in 2024 at Westminster, is the fastest growing employment-related Covenant in the UK.

So yes - this is the right time.

But SRAG Membership isn’t just about timing. It’s about values, action and progress that sticks.

Whether you’re hiring 5 or 5,000, this is your invitation to join a movement where every job created has the potential to change lives.

Let’s make work better - together.
