In 2012, Cara Lodge Residential Treatment Centre began the process of working towards achieving CHKS Accreditation (Caspe Healthcare Knowledge Systems); a recognised accreditation programme to assist organisations to apply quality standards to improve patient care and address key challenges such as risk management and clinical effectiveness. 
Cara Lodge provides residential treatment for adolescent males aged 14 - 19 years old involved in alcohol & substance misuse.
Following a busy eighteen months to update policies & implement new procedures Cara Lodge successfully achieved accreditation status from CHKS Healthcare in September 2013 for the organisational management & service delivery of our residential facility.  This great achievement was attained through huge commitment from the staff, management and the CHKS team.
