ASA providers receive Shared Lives Accreditation
“ASA have been trailblazing on Shared Lives carer accreditation and now have their first batch of accredited Shared Lives carers. The accreditation scheme is a new way for schemes to provide extra training and recognition for experienced Shared Lives carers, who keep an Evidence Log on the twelve Learning the Ropes modules with the support of our accreditation associate Christine Lawrence.
Shared Lives carers involved say that the process has been reassuring, confirming that they were undertaking their role professionally and giving them the opportunity to get together with other providers to share experiences. Completing an Evidence Log will be an expectation of all new providers joining ASA, although it will be up to them whether they wish to apply for the full award.”
