Agency Accreditation
There is no getting away from it, agencies should be
regulated, registered and vetted. Child agencies even more
so! Yet despite the industry crying out for changes to
happen it seems that the government only appear to concern
themselves in money making law changes instead of those
that can help save peoples money and indeed lives in some
cases,
Reputable Model Agencies (RMA), formerly RMAUK, was formed
in 2007 to act as a source of information for parents to
avoid them being 'scammed', equipping them with important
knowledge when sourcing a highly reputable agency and to
list the agencies which are known to be non-reputable.
RMA also provides reputable agencies with an accreditation
system given the lack of regulatory body for the industry,
