Standards and criteria

Standards and criteria are utilised to accredit formal and less formal organisations, as well as individuals, accordingly.

Ensuring people with dementia receive high-quality care, provided by appropriately trained professionals and carers, is essential to meeting the challenge of dementia.

Where care is not of sufficient quality, it can have a negative impact for people with dementia, their families and carers.

The following pages provide more information and standards around accreditation, tailored to the type of organisation or individual applying.

This scheme will be available for all organisations including ADI members. For further details, please contact Head of Accreditation, Amalia Fonk-Utomo.
