Introduction to DCAP

This session is designed for services who have recently signed up for accreditation and are currently going through the initial self-assessment and service improvement phase of accreditation. We recommend services to first attend this training session within 3 months of registering and revisit the training at a later date, if required. 

The session will focus on:

  • The accreditation pathway and timelines
  • Practical tips on gathering and uploading evidence
  • An overview of our resources and guidance
  • A glance at the DCAP website and where to start
  • A talk from our clinical leadership team on the benefits of accreditation 
  • Q&A session - bring along any questions you have!

The next introduction to DCAP training session is scheduled for TBC.
