Do not take CHSPS on trust. Verify the record.

Accreditation is credible only when the public can inspect the scope, standards, decision authority, due process and current status behind it. This page routes you to the controlled record for each question.

Start with the question

Use the right public record instead of relying on a badge, logo or claim.

Accreditation record

Is this accreditation real and current?

Use exact-number verification for the holder, approved scope, effective dates and live public status. A website claim is not the authoritative record.

Verify a record →
Standards control

Which requirements are actually in force?

Use the current Standards Registry for document ID, edition, lifecycle dates, controlled PDF and SHA-256 file identity.

Open current registry →
Decision independence

Who had authority to make the decision?

Inspect the governance model, Decision Committee, conflict-screening rules, recusals and the separation between technical review and final decision authority.

Inspect governance →
Five-minute due diligence

Follow the evidence trail in this order.

You should be able to validate a CHSPS claim without contacting CHSPS first.

1

Verify the exact accreditation number.

Confirm the named holder, scope, dates and current status. Do not substitute a logo or screenshot for the live record.

Verify accreditation →
2

Confirm the controlling standard set.

Check the current edition and the applicable CORE, pathway, supplement or defined-offering documents. Historical standards belong in the archive, not a current conformity claim.

Find applicable standards →
3

Inspect decision authority and conflicts.

Confirm that applicant support, technical review and final decision roles are separated and that quorum/recusal safeguards are public.

See independence controls →
4

Check actions and due-process routes.

Review public accreditation actions, controlled decision/status definitions, complaints, reconsideration and appeal routes.

Open public actions →
5

Inspect institutional accountability.

Review financial/accountability information, funding disclosures, quality reporting, privacy/security controls and dated public updates.

Open accountability →
What CHSPS makes inspectable

Six public-record systems support one trust model.

1 · Verification

Accreditation status

Exact-number public verification is the authoritative current-status surface for a specific CHSPS accreditation record.

Verify accreditation →
2 · Standards

Normative requirements

Current standards, lifecycle dates, controlled PDFs and checksums are public; superseded editions are retained separately.

Standards Registry →
3 · Governance

Authority and independence

Decision bodies, seat structure, conflicts, recusals and impartiality safeguards are documented separately from applicant support.

Governance & impartiality →
4 · Due process

Decisions, complaints and appeals

Decision/status definitions and challenge routes are public so an adverse outcome is not governed by unpublished rules.

Complaints & appeals →
5 · Accountability

Money and funding

Fees, nonprofit accountability information, funding disclosures and payment-outcome separation are inspectable.

Funding disclosures →
6 · Performance

Quality and security

CHSPS publishes quality reporting and a security-disclosure route so operational controls can be challenged and improved.

Quality reporting →
Authority boundaries

Know what CHSPS is — and what it is not.

CHSPS is a nonprofit standards and accreditation organization.

It develops controlled standards, evaluates defined organizational/program scopes and maintains public accreditation records.

CHSPS is not a government agency.

Accreditation does not replace statutory licensing, regulatory approval or other legal authorization required by a jurisdiction.

CHSPS does not issue professional licenses.

A CHSPS organizational/program accreditation should not be presented as an individual practitioner license.

Accreditation applies only to the approved scope.

A CHSPS mark or public claim should not be stretched to an affiliate, service, location, product or person outside the verified record.

If something does not match

Use the route that preserves the right record.

Questionable accreditation claim

A seal, status or scope looks wrong

Report a questionable CHSPS accreditation claim or mark use so it can be reconciled to the official record.

Report a claim →
Decision or process concern

You need review, reconsideration or appeal

Use the published complaints and appeals framework rather than informal escalation or payment channels.

Open due-process routes →
Standards concern

A requirement should change

Use Standards Action and public participation routes for proposed requirements, comments and standards-development activity.

View Standards Action →
Security concern

You found a vulnerability

Use the responsible security-disclosure process rather than placing sensitive details into an ordinary public form.
