Autism Accreditation - introduction

---

 

The mission of the Autism Accreditation programme is to improve the quality of provision for people with an autistic spectrum disorder:

• by providing a unified standard of excellence in both policy and practice
• by presenting a systematic framework for continuous self-examination and development; and
• by ensuring that services registered with the programme are given guidance and support in order to meet the established criteria required for accredited status.

Autism Accreditation:

• provides an autism-specific quality assurance programme for over 300 organisations throughout the UK and across the globe: clients include local authorities, NHS trusts, education authorities, local autistic societies and private companies.
• actively seeks to help like-minded organisations throughout the world to use our expertise, in order to develop national standards on a franchising basis.

If you are interested in either option, please do not hesitate to contact us via our enquiries page or by calling 01454 423 780.

This area of the website provides information about achieving accreditation and autism-specific standards which have been developed since 1993. To find out more about the work of Autism Accreditation, please visit the 'Achieving Accreditation' area or download the annual report below.

We also advertise job vacancies for registered services and schools within the best autism care and education organisations in the UK.

Finally, possibly our most important resource is that of placement vacancies at registered services and schools for the use of parents, relatives and social workers alike.

The Autism Accreditation award provides a seal of quality and provides peace of mind when choosing a place for a relative or friend.
