Details
The procedure for accrediting social service providers is carried out under the conditions of Law no. 197/2012 regarding ensuring quality in the field of social services, as amended, and is provided in H.G. no. 118/2014 for the approval of the Methodological Norms for the implementation of the provisions of Law no.197/2012, as amended and supplemented, chapter II, section I-Accreditation of providers. The procedure describes the activities of evaluating and certifying compliance with specific criteria, which represent the basic requirements that highlight the providers’ ability to establish, manage, and provide social services.
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 supporting documents requested in copy;
b) approval or rejection of the provider’s accreditation application;
c) issuance of the accreditation certificate or, where applicable, the notification of rejection of the accreditation application;
d) registration of the accredited provider in the Unified Electronic Registry of Social Services, established and managed, according to the law, by the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection.
The criteria used for accrediting providers are approved by order of the Minister of Labor and Social Protection (Order no. 424/2014 regarding the approval of specific criteria for the accreditation of social service providers) and mainly concern the following: a. identification data of the provider; b. Information regarding knowledge in social services management; c. conditions provided in Law no. 292/2011 with subsequent amendments and completions, mandatory for the establishment, management, operation, and funding of social services.
The supporting documents differ depending on the status of the provider as a legal entity of 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, articles of association/statute of the association/foundation;
b) for branches or subsidiaries of international associations and foundations recognized in accordance with current legislation: certificate of registration in the register of foreign non-profit entities, statute of the branch/subsidiary;
c) for religious denominations recognized by law: the normative act for recognizing the denomination, the establishment document of the unit
d) for authorized natural persons under the law: certificate of registration and the finding certificate issued by the National Trade Register Office;
e) for economic operators, under special conditions provided by law: certificate of registration and the finding certificate issued by the National Trade Register Office, establishment act or founding act of the economic operator.
C. Additionally, public and private providers who, at the date of submitting the application, have not established a social service are obliged to also submit the commitment regarding compliance with the obligation provided in art. 10 para. (3) of Law no. 197/2012 as subsequently amended, completed according to the model specified in annex no. 3 to HG no. 118/2014 as amended.
The provider’s accreditation dossier, including the accreditation application and supporting documents, can be submitted directly to the MMPS registry, sent by mail, with acknowledgment of receipt, or electronically in a non-editable format. The resolution of accreditation dossiers is carried out within a maximum of 30 days from the date they are registered in the special register of accreditation requests for providers, with the possibility of extension by a maximum of 15 days, in which case MMPS notifies the provider regarding the processing time of the accreditation application and the reasons for its extension. If the provider's accreditation dossier lacks supporting documents, the provider is notified electronically and required to complete the documentation within 10 working days from the transmission of the notification. Failure to complete the dossier within the requested period leads to the suspension of the 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. If it is found that the criteria stipulated by law are not met, MMPS issues a decision to reject the provider’s accreditation.
Decisions regarding the rejection of provider accreditation, rejection of 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 under the Administrative Litigation Law no. 554/2004, as amended and supplemented.
