The accreditation procedure for social service providers is carried out under the conditions of Law no. 197/2012 on ensuring quality in the field of social services, with subsequent amendments, and is provided in G.D. no. 118/2014 for the approval of the Methodological Norms for the application of the provisions of Law no. 197/2012, with subsequent amendments and completions, chapter II, section I-Accreditation of providers. The procedure describes the activities of evaluation and certification of compliance with specific criteria, which are the basic requirements by which the providers’ ability to establish, manage and provide social services is highlighted.
The accreditation of the provider involves the following steps:
a) evaluation of the provider, which consists of verifying compliance with accreditation criteria, based on the data and information included in the provider's accreditation application and the required supporting documents submitted in copy;
b) approval or rejection of the provider's accreditation application;
c) issuance of the accreditation certificate or, as the case may be, notification of the rejection of the accreditation application;
d) registration of the accredited provider in the Unique Electronic Registry of Social Services, established and managed, in accordance with the law, by the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection.
The criteria used for the accreditation of providers are approved by order of the Minister of Labour and Social Protection (Order no. 424/2014 on approval of the specific criteria that form the basis for accrediting social service providers) and mainly concern the following: a. identification data regarding the provider; b. Information regarding knowledge in social services management; c. conditions provided in Law no. 292/2011 with subsequent amendments and completions, required for the establishment, administration, operation, and financing of social services.
The supporting documents differ depending on the provider’s status as a legal entity under public or private law, as well as their managerial experience in the field of social services, as follows:
A. In the case of public providers, the supporting document is their establishment act
B. In the case of private providers, the supporting documents are the following:
a) for non-governmental organizations: certificate of registration in the Register of Associations and Foundations, statute of the association/foundation;
b) for branches or subsidiaries of international associations and foundations recognized according to the legislation in force: certificate of registration in the register of foreign legal entities without profit-making purpose, statute of the branch/subsidiary;
c) for religious denominations recognized by law: the normative act of recognition of the denomination, establishment document of the unit
d) for individuals authorized under the law: registration certificate and findings certificate issued by the National Trade Register Office;
e) for economic operators, in special conditions provided by law: registration certificate and findings certificate issued by the National Trade Register Office, establishment act or constitutive act of the economic operator.
C. Additionally, public and private providers who, at the time of submitting the application, have not established a social service, are required to submit in the file an undertaking regarding compliance with the obligation provided in art. 10 para. (3) of Law no. 197/2012, as amended, completed according to the model provided in annex no. 3 to G.D. no. 118/2014, as amended.
The accreditation file of the provider, comprising the accreditation application and the supporting documents, can be submitted directly to the MMPS registry, sent by post with confirmation of receipt or electronically in a non-editable format. The resolution of accreditation files is carried out within max. 30 days from the date of their registration in the special register for monitoring accreditation applications of providers, with the possibility of extending this period by max. 15 days, in which case MMPS notifies the provider regarding the duration for resolving the accreditation application and the reasons for its extension. If supporting documents are missing from the provider's accreditation file, the provider is electronically notified and requested to complete the documentation within 10 working days from the notification's transmission. Failure to complete the file within the required period leads to the suspension of evaluation, and the service provider is electronically notified to submit a new accreditation application.
Compliance with the criteria is certified by an accreditation certificate issued by MMPS. In case the criteria provided by law are found not to be met, MMPS issues the decision to reject the provider’s accreditation.
Decisions regarding the rejection of the provider’s accreditation, rejection of the service accreditation, decision to reject the application for classification in quality classes of the social service, as well as decisions regarding the suspension and withdrawal of accreditation can be contested according to the Administrative Litigation Law no. 554/2004, with subsequent amendments and completions.
