Midlands Accreditation Protocol

The Midland Region Contract Support Group have produced a joint accreditation protocol with a view to standardising the accreditation procedure across the region. This paper will outline the standards which have been agreed and allow each Local Authority to decide whether or not to sign up to the protocol. By signing up to the protocol, Local Authorities are agreeing in practice to accept accreditation for an organisation as carried out by another Local Authority Supporting People Team. This does not preclude requesting additional information.
