SDU Trust Mark for Dating Agencies
How do you distinguish credible dating agencies from seedy ones? Look out for the SDU Trust Mark.
The Trust Mark is part of the accreditation framework set up by the Social Development Unit (SDU) for dating agencies. To earn the mark, they will have to comply with a code of conduct and meet certain standards. Practitioners and agents will also be required to attend training courses developed by the Singapore Workforce Agency (WDA).
There are some 200 matchmaking/dating agencies in Singapore. Those who want to apply for the Trust Mark should apply to the Accreditation Council for the Dating Industry.
