Local Mental Health Services Accreditation Scheme

The Home Treatment Accreditation Scheme (HTAS) works to improve the quality of crisis resolution and home treatment services for people with acute mental illness. It engages staff in a process of review which identifies good practice and high quality care and services are supported to identify areas for improvement.

Involving service users and carers in HTAS is a priority and people such as Carers with experience of  crisis resolution or home treatment services are encouraged to get involved in the accreditation process.

 Accreditation helps assure everyone of the quality of the service being provided. The Centre’s Mental Health Carer Development Worker is working with our local Crisis Resolution Home treatment service to ensure carers views are heard.
