ACCREDIATION – PROCESS & BENEFITS


Accrediation is defined as:

A principle is a simple and fundamental statement of truth upon which are established more specific standards. A standard is a statement of excellence, developed by peers, against which conformity of the agency is evaluated. The principles, standards, components and definitions are presented in 2 sections; Section I - Leadership and Agency Management, and Section II - Program/Service Planning, Implementation, Monitoring and Evaluation.
