Acceleration is a vector quantity, meaning it operates both in the form of magnitude change and direction change. If the velocity of a body is continuously changing in magnitude or direction, it's said to be accelerating. In a circular motion scenario, the body might be both changing in magnitude (as in angular acceleration $\alpha$) or in direction (as in centripetal acceleration $a$ pointing towards the center). To to answer the question, a body still in a circular motion is always accelerating direction-wise.
