PROGRAMME STANDARDS
BCF references several sources for practice and programme standards and other ways of thinking about
approaches to service in the community.
As a work in progress, we have cross-referenced some programme standards or indicators and
outcomes for programmes to some of the services and programmes groups in Bermuda offer. NOTE:
These sources are for reference only and are provided as a means to inform practice.
Please review the list of Standards, Indicators or Outcomes below for better and more specific
information about your “match”. You may find a better one! You can then look for more details about
the standard or outcome indicators on-line. If no standard seems to exist for your area of work, please
review the BNSC Certification Standards and/or the Administration and Management Standards as
general guides to good practice standards.
If your organisation is certified or accredited through any other agency, please let us know so that we
can add it to our database.
