As 2023 is over, it is a good time to reflect on the overall JACIE activity in the last year: JACIE received 97 applications in total in 2023 which represents approximately a 30% increase in comparison to 2022. 17% of the applications were for the initial accreditation with 6 centres (6%) applying for the 4th re-accreditation.
The number of inspections carried out by our inspectors increased to 77, which is the second highest number of inspections in JACIE history (2019: 78 inspections). This shows that JACIE has firmly returned to pre-pandemic activity and we are hugely grateful for all our inspectors, many of whom have carried out two or even three inspections in the course of the year.
The number of Centres accredited was 68 in comparison to 15 in 2022 and 27 in 2021. Huge thank you to the members of the Accreditation Committee who tirelessly reviewed the reports and for the Centres for the timely responses and for the inspectors for assessing the Evidence of Corrections submitted by the Centres. Achieving the JACIE Accreditation is nothing but teamwork.
We look forward to another busy year in the JACIE Office and working with the Centres and our inspectors.
