Annual Supervision Accreditation - Credit

As and from 1st of January 2016 the IACP accreditation will be processed on an annual basis, arising from a vote of members present at the IACP 2014 AGM.

This means that even if you have renewed your accreditation with IACP recently- you are now being asked to complete the renewal accreditation process in order to retain your accreditation with IACP.

To apply, please request an application form in the 'Apply Now' box on the right. Once you have paid the processing fee- the form will be sent out to the email address you have provided.

All Accredited Members and Supervisors will be asked to renew their accreditation at the same time.

The processing fee for the renewal of IACP accreditation is €30 for an Accredited Supervisor. Any processing fee that has already been paid in recent years will be credited to future processing fees as appropriate.

There is only one form to be completed for both categories of membership (Accredited Member and Accredited Supervisor) and your accreditation as an Accredited Member and an Accredited Supervisor will be renewed at the same time.

Continuing Accreditation depends on a renewal application being received by IACP on or before the renewal date and is subject to current and valid Garda Vetting.

Payment of the application processing fee is required prior to receiving the application form. If you have paid your application fee in recent years and you have credit with IACP- the forms will be sent out to you by a member of the IACP staff when your accreditation renewal is due.

The process:

A reminder notice to apply for renewal of Accreditation is sent by IACP to Accredited Supervisors prior to the end of their accreditation period.
