Accreditation Procedure

UKAC Accreditation Process

The UKAC accreditation process is designed to be rigorous and transparent. It involves the following steps:

Application: You will need to submit an application to UKAC, outlining your organization’s structure, processes, and procedures.

Assessment: UKAC will then assess your organization against the relevant accreditation standards. This may involve on-site assessments and reviews of your documentation.

Accreditation decision: Once the assessment is complete, UKAC will make a decision on whether to grant you accreditation.

Application

To apply for UKAC accreditation, you will need to submit the following:

• An application form
• A detailed description of your organization’s structure, processes, and procedures
• Any relevant documentation, such as policies, procedures, and quality records

Assessment

The UKAC assessment process typically involves the following steps:

• Initial review: UKAC will review your application and any supporting documentation to ensure that you meet the eligibility criteria for accreditation.
• On-site assessment: If your application is successful, UKAC will arrange for an on-site assessment of your organization. This assessment will involve interviews with your staff and a review of your documentation and systems.
• Assessment report: UKAC will prepare a report on the findings of the assessment. This report will be sent to you for your review and comment.
• Accreditation decision: Once you have had a chance to review and comment on the assessment report, UKAC will make a decision on whether to grant you accreditation.

Accreditation decision

If UKAC decides to grant you accreditation, you will be issued with an accreditation certificate. You will then be required to pay the annual accreditation fee.

Maintaining accreditation

UKAC-accredited organizations are subject to regular surveillance and reassessment activities. This ensures that they continue to meet UKAC’s accreditation standards.
