Application

Out of the agencies that submit Organizational Self-Assessment Summaries, up to 20 will be randomly selected to apply for accreditation during a particular round.  Application information, instructions, and due dates will be sent to those agencies.  Agencies that are not selected to apply will be notified.    

Please note that if there are many agencies applying to renew their accreditation during a specific application round, the Professional Standards Team may opt to select more than 20 agencies at its discretion to avoid any lapses in accreditation.   

A sample of the Application and Site Visit Checklist are included below for informational purposes only.

Please contact the DCJS Professional Standards Operations Coordinator at sdvstandards@dcjs.virginia.gov if you have questions about the application process.
