ACCREDITATION COUNCIL
The role of the Accreditation Council is to:
- read each assessment report and make sure it is done fairly,
- oversee the implementation of the Standard,
- ensure that technical and professional standards are maintained
- provide guidance to the GoodCorporation executive and the Advisory Panel on continuous improvement of the Standard,
- arbitrate on disputes and appeals.
The Council members sit in a personal capacity, but they bring diverse expertise and experience of the interests of different stakeholder groups. These include certification bodies, non-governmental organisations, consumer groups, GoodCorporation members, unions, academic institutions, and professional institutions.
The Accreditation Council last met 10 December 2008 and its next meeting is scheduled for
December 2009.
