Regional Accreditation
In
June 2006 the ten Supporting People teams within the Eastern Region
adopted a Regional Accreditation process. It was developed
in order to provide a co-ordinated approach to accreditation and
to allow the passporting of Providers within the region. If your
services cover more than one administering authority you will be
accredited by the SP team with which you hold the largest contract.
This accreditation will apply for all your services within the Eastern
Region, meaning you will only need to go through the process once
every three years.
It
is a requirement of Supporting People that all providers, or potential
providers, of support services can demonstrate they are suitable
organisations to contract with. |

There
are 5 accreditation criteria, which are used to ensure that providers:
-
Are
financially viable
-
Have
competent administrative procedures in place
-
Have
effective employment policies in place
-
Have
robust management procedures in place
-
Are
competent to deliver services
It
is possible for providers to achieve some or all of the above criteria
due to accreditation with other frameworks. If this is the
case then providers can be 'passported' through the relevant sections.
Details of this can be found in the guidance document, which
can be downloaded by clicking on the links below.
