Code of Practice for Training Programme Accreditation
It is crucial that the members of the PA work together as an evaluation team and do not attempt to apply pre-conceived templates to their consideration of the training programme being evaluated, nor appear to address inquiries from entirely within the perspective of their own specialty or the practices of their own organisation. All communications between the ATP and members of the PA must be via the CIDB.
5.3.1 The Chairperson
The chairperson is the key person in an accreditation exercise and preferred to have prior experience as a panel member. It is the responsibility of the chairperson to create an atmosphere in which critical professional discussions can take place, where opinions can be liberally and considerately exchanged, and in which integrity and transparency prevail. Much of the mode and accomplishment of the training programme accreditation exercise depends on the ability of the chairperson to facilitate the PA to do its work as a team rather than as individuals, and also to bring out the best in those whom the PA meets.
The chairperson is responsible to ensure that the consolidated report accurately summarises the outcomes of the assessment and is consistent with the reporting framework.
