The materials contained in this document have been revised (2003, 2006, 2008) from the original design (2000) utilizing feedback collected over the past nine years. During this revision process, the JWB focus on organizational development and quality improvement has been maintained utilizing the feedback and experiences of the JWB funded agencies and peer reviewer teams.

The revisions have resulted in:

·        

A reduction of A.S.S.E.T Standards.

·        

An increased focus on administrative capacity.

·        

Acceptance of specific national accrediting bodies in lieu of 
     A.S.S.E.T.

·        

The provision of specific guidance on evidence submission
     resulting in less duplication.

·        

Blending the A.S.S.E.T. review and annual sites visits resulting in
     one comprehensive report every three years.

It is anticipated that these changes will result in either maintaining or building increased administrative capacity and quality service delivery frameworks.
