MANDATE AND FOCUS

The Child and Youth Care Educational Accreditation Board of Canada (CYCEAB) is charged with the accreditation of child and youth care post-secondary programs. CYCAB accreditation activities document efforts to be accountable to children, youth, and families; to students; and to the profession.

WHY ACCREDITATION?

High quality education is a result of sound evaluation and continuous improvement. Accreditation is a process for regular, rigorous review of program goals, pedagogies, and outcomes. It facilitates dialogue and education within and across CYC programs about innovation and quality, assisting with decision-making about where and how to situate a school, department, or program.
