Accreditation and Standards

Accreditation is a formal recognition that an organization, like a school or hospital, meets established quality standards set by an independent body. Standards are the specific criteria or benchmarks that define what quality performance looks like in areas like safety, effectiveness, and management. Together, accreditation and standards ensure organizations operate consistently at a high level, fostering trust and continuous improvement. They serve as a badge of credibility, helping consumers and stakeholders feel confident in the organization’s quality and reliability.
