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 6 December 2007 and its next meeting is scheduled for December 2008.

Any issues for the Council from member organisations, customers, suppliers or other stakeholders of members, or any member of the public, can be raised by contacting the GoodCorporation office or e-mailing directly to accreditation.council@goodcorporation.com.
