UKNC2011, UKNC2014, RFO2014 and Domestic Refurbishment 2014 schemes:
In response to the 2022 changes to the structure and scoring in the CCS, the adjusted points for credits are as follows for each of the three new sections (Community, Environment, and Workforce):

One credit requires a minimum of 9 points per section and 27 overall.

Two credits require a minimum of 11 points per section and 35 overall.

Exemplary credit requires a minimum of 13 points per section and 39 overall.

UKNC2018, UKNCV6 and HQM ONE schemes:
No changes have been made to the criteria or the requirement to demonstrate compliance with items g, p and q for the exemplary credit.

GN33 has been updated to demonstrate the mapping of the updated CCS to these schemes, see KBCN1215.

For assessments not following CSS, the criteria remain unchanged. More information on the changes to the CCS scheme are outlined on the CCS website.
