This certificate recognizes, for a new period, the quality of the centers and services that the social entity has in the five delegations of Castilla y León.
For Fundación Personas, this certification is a differentiating element to continue improving and accompanying each person with intellectual disabilities in their life project and their environment.
Fundación Personas has obtained the renewal of the accreditation certifying that it has a quality management system in accordance with the ISO 9001:2015 Standard, issued by AENOR. This recognition demonstrates, once again, the commitment that the Foundation maintains with the optimized management of resources.
The first accreditation was achieved in June 2017, when Fundación Personas passed the processes for obtaining accreditation with the development and implementation of the system by an external consultancy.
During these three years, all the centers and services of the entity have been gradually and periodically evaluated internally and externally. After the last annual process, the certifying entity has renewed the accreditation for a new period 2020-2023.
With the renewal of the certification, Fundación Personas consolidates its position as a reference entity serving thousands of people and families in Castilla y León, covering the needs of comprehensive care throughout the life cycle of each person with intellectual disabilities.
This is yet another step forward in the organization’s commitment to continuous improvement in order to offer excellent quality care to the more than 3,000 families that make up the social base of Fundación Personas. An example of how social organizations can improve their services and projects with the implementation of quality management systems.
About Fundación Personas
Fundación Personas was created in 2008 by five associations in Castilla y León: ADECAS Guardo, ASPANIS Palencia, APADEFIM Segovia, ASPRONA Valladolid and ASPROSUB Zamora. Our mission is to improve the quality of life of people with intellectual disabilities and their families by providing comprehensive services, in the environment and covering all stages of the life cycle. The founding associations belong to the Plena Inclusion family movement and bring 60 years of experience, share innovation and foster mutual collaboration.
With a regional presence, we are present in 30 towns in Castilla y León, urban centers and rural areas, where we attend to situations of disability or dependence and provide support for the promotion of personal autonomy. We also offer support and training to people at risk of social exclusion. Our activity is governed by criteria of quality and proximity in service; efficiency and transparency in management; equal opportunities, accessibility and respect for diversity as a driver of social transformation.
In the educational-care area, we manage 2,500 places daily in 60 centers, distributed in more than 30 locations in Valladolid, Palencia, Segovia and Zamora. In the labor area, Fundación Personas has 3 Special Employment Centers (CEE) – Grupo Lince S.L.U., APADEFIM 2000 S.L.U. and CEE Fundación Personas – with a staff of 900 workers, more than 90% of whom have some kind of disability.
