Prosper has 4 levels of accreditation, each level is a mark of achievement and demonstrates a home's level of commitment to Promoting the Safer Provision of care for Every Resident.
More information on the levels of accreditation can be found here.
There are 4 levels which can be awarded, each level has a set of criteria which will need to be evidenced before a home is awarded that level. All homes on Prosper start with the basic Prosper accreditation (White window sticker) and can then progress onto the following levels:
Application Forms (please read the criteria before completing).
Prosper Accreditation Criteria
To receive a Bronze, Silver or Gold level award a home, needs to be able to demonstrate that they have been working at that criteria level for at least the previous six months before they can make an application and must have been awarded the previous accreditation levels.
The application will be reviewed by the Prosper Team, and a decision made on whether the home meets the set criteria for the requested level. Some of the evidence will need to be confirmed via a prosper support visit and your allocated support officer will be able to advise when this will take place.
When a home reaches the required level of accreditation they will be given either a Bronze, Silver or Gold window sticker which will show visitors the level of accreditation reached.
Once an accreditation level has been awarded it is valid for two years after that the home will need to reapply.
Gold Accreditation - Once a home has reached Gold Accreditation and is able to sustain this for 3 years or more they can be awarded a Platinum Accreditation.
Essex County Council reserve the right to revoke a PROSPER level award and the window sticker if standards drop below that of the criteria for which it was awarded.
