We are an independent government business unit providing oversight functions on behalf of The Ministry of Social Development, Oranga Tamariki, Department of Corrections, Ministry of Justice, Housing and Urban Development and Social Investment Agency.
Our main function is Social Services Accreditation. We provide assurance that social service providers can deliver quality services. We do this by assessing organisations against the Social Services Accreditation Standards (SSAS) and making sure they meet these standards.
