1 Social Sector Accreditation Standards Level 4 Introduction These standards for accreditation are produced by the New Zealand Government for the accreditation of providers funded to deliver social services. The purpose of standards for accreditation As part of a quality assurance role, the New Zealand Government has established standards for accreditation which are designed to ensure organisations who deliver social services have the capacity and capability to deliver quality services against a consistent set of standards. The standards are defined and key criteria must be met. The standards are also produced with guidelines which are designed to help service providers determine how they might demonstrate compliance with the standards. The assessment of providers against the standards takes into consideration a range of factors including the specifications of the contracts for service delivery, the legal status of a provider, the size of the organisation and the nature of the services delivered. This self-assessment accreditation form should be used by providers requiring a Level 4 accreditation status. You will be assessed on the basis of the information you provide in completing this form, along with any supporting documentation you attach. Assessment against the Accreditation Standards at Level 4 does not usually require a site visit to the organisation seeking approval. The Ministry may, however, conduct on-site assessments of compliance with the Accreditation Standards at Level 4 for a sample of organisations or, in some cases, to clarify information or respond to concerns raised. You will need to complete this self-assessment process every two years to maintain your accreditation status. Further information about the accreditation process (or the levels of accreditation that apply to different services) is available from the Ministry of Social Development Approvals Regional Manager for each region. Contact information is listed on the application form, which can be accessed on the website at Page 1
