Praesidium Accreditation for Sexual Abuse Prevention

Pine Cove has been awarded Praesidium Accreditation by Praesidium, Inc., the leader in abuse risk management. Praesidium Accreditation is a prestigious honor that publicly demonstrates the organization has worked to achieve the highest industry standards in abuse prevention.

Their assessment results were benchmarked against 800 best practice standards and empirically based data collection methods to assess the risk of abuse in an organization. Pine Cove will be accredited for three years, and during this time will uphold fundamental organizational values and stringent safety practices that demonstrate their commitment to protecting those in their care from abuse.
