“The accreditation process forces us to pay attention to areas we might otherwise not give priority to. In the everchanging and demanding world of the not for profit and the violence against women sector, attention goes to managing the crisis, as it should and for bigger picture advocacy and community building; all important aspects of the work, but I would also recommend accreditation as an important aspect of maintaining excellence in service delivery. I would recommend FOCUS specifically because of that “family” feel, and the sense that we are in the process together. Never adversaries.”
