Governance

³Ô¹ÏÏÖ³¡ is a not-for-profit unincorporated Association with an organisational structure designed to ensure the ability to carry out the multiple functions of accreditation, membership and registration effectively and efficiently, whilst still meeting the current and future standards of a Professional Standards Authority in Health and Social Care accredited register holder. ³Ô¹ÏÏÖ³¡ is split into two main parts; the overall governance and strategic direction is overseen by the elected Executive Committee and this is supported by the employed operational side of the Chief Executives Office. The operational side of ³Ô¹ÏÏÖ³¡ supports the Executive Committee and provides continuity of expertise in all the key operational areas.

In its operation, the elected Executive Committee follows the . The make-up, along with the terms and conditions of the Executive Committee are designed to maximise effectiveness and efficiency whilst minimising undue individual influence and conflicts of interest. The Executive Committee, which has overall strategic oversight of the organisation, makes a full report to members at the Annual General Meeting where they answer questions that arise from that years activities; accountability and transparency are key to Executive Committee functioning. As part of this, all key decisions made by the Executive Committee have to involve the lay members of the Executive Committee. The structural conditions the Executive Committee operates under also work to ensure integrity e.g. the rules around committee turn-over. ³Ô¹ÏÏÖ³¡ also has a separate Ethics Committee which provides an independent oversight and complaints function for the ³Ô¹ÏÏÖ³¡ Executive Committee. In addition, link officer roles, which recruit from a purposefully wide demographic of ³Ô¹ÏÏÖ³¡ membership, are invited to and do attend the Executive Committee meetings; this allows additional direct observation of Executive Committee operations. Other policies that determine how the Executive Committee operates:

The employees in the CE office are not part of the Executive Committee and follow published frameworks in their operational duties. All key accreditation and registration processes are governed by clear frameworks, minimising the potential for subjective decisions that could affect either of these areas. Membership functions are a soft process and largely reflect the development of an open, transparent, effective and safe healthcare occupation. If a potential registrant does not meet registration standards, it is not administratively possible for them to proceed to registration. Additionally, the ³Ô¹ÏÏÖ³¡ registration exam offers an additional, objective, quality assurance step in the registration process.

The Professional Standards Authority in Health and Social Care (PSA) provides oversight of ³Ô¹ÏÏÖ³¡â€™s governance and operations. The PSA assess both Statutory Regulators and Accredited Register holders annually and publish a report on their performance against the PSA standards:
