Note

ADRC

shall examine all documentary evidence relating to the Accreditation Decision made by NCAC;

may only consider evidence concerning the conduct or management of the Validation Visit if, in the opinion of ADRC, the Validator omitted to allow the service’s delegate adequate opportunities to enter comments on the Validation Report thus resulting in NCAC’s Accreditation Decision being based on biased evidence or incomplete evidence. Complaints concerning NCAC’s administrative practices would not otherwise constitute grounds for a review of the Accreditation Decision.

cannot consider any evidence that pertains to service practices/policies that have occurred or been developed after the date of the Validation Visit.
