The Facility Assessment Resource Hub is designed for facilities where youth are detained. The assessment process is part of ensuring local facilities reflect evolving best practices in the field and continuously improve their policies, procedures, and practices.
The hub brings together the following three tools for the ease of the assessment team leader and team members: the 2024 Facility Standards, Assessment Team Training, and the Facility Assessment App.
If your facility is still considering whether to conduct an assessment using these tools, please fill out the Contact Form below.
