Our Services
In Alberta and across Canada, many Human Services Agencies are strongly encouraged or contractually mandated to attain and maintain accreditation to receive government funding. The expectation of Licensing Branches or government is increasing aligning their licensing expectations of Agencies with Accreditation standards. Having Accreditation signifies a level of standards and excellence to the funding sources and to the general population. This has put pressures and strains on the front-line Agencies. Many are able to adjust their practice and meet these increasing standards. Yet other Agencies do not have the staff capacity or knowledge base within their Agency to meet this increased expectation.
Admiraal Consulting provides Accreditation Readiness that is tailored to meet the needs of your Agency. With over 70 years of combined experience in Child Protection, Group Care and Reunification Programs, we help agencies strengthen their practice, improve and develop systems, prepare for Accreditation, and ensure your policies are reflected in everyday Service Delivery. Each package we offer is tailor made to your organizational needs.

Admiraal Consulting believes accreditation should be more than a compliance exercise. It should be an opportunity to reflect on what an organization does, why it does it, and the impact it has on the people and communities it serves.
