Sorry for the slightly more sparse social media posts lately - there’s a good reason for that, as we’re in deep preparation for our first in-person accreditation survey by CARF since 2017! We’ve had them every three years since 2005, so this will be our eighth survey demonstrating our commitment to high standards within our sector. 🤩👍
