Accreditation Support
End-to-end guidance through accreditation — from gap analysis and documentation to mock audits and final review.
Accreditation demonstrates that a facility meets recognized national standards for operations, safety, and care. CCS guides facilities through the entire process so accreditation is achievable and sustainable — not overwhelming.
We start with a gap analysis against the applicable standards, help build and organize the documentation file, run mock audits to validate readiness, and support you through the formal review.
What we deliver
- Gap analysis against applicable standards
- Documentation and evidence-file development
- Policy alignment to accreditation requirements
- Mock audits and readiness validation
- On-site support during formal audits
- Guidance for ACA, PBNDS, NDS 2025, and FPBDS
Why CCS
We have prepared facilities for accreditation and sat on the other side of the audit table. That dual perspective lets us anticipate what reviewers look for and get your facility ready the first time.
Accreditation Support — Questions
Which accreditation standards does CCS support?
CCS supports accreditation and compliance under ACA standards, Performance-Based National Detention Standards (PBNDS), National Detention Standards including NDS 2025, and Family Residential Standards (FPBDS).
What is a mock audit?
A mock audit is a full practice inspection conducted before the formal accreditation audit. It validates readiness, surfaces gaps while there is still time to fix them, and prepares staff for the real review.
How does the accreditation process start?
It typically starts with a gap analysis against the applicable standards, followed by documentation development, policy alignment, mock audits, and support through the formal review.
