Grounds for certain appeals within IAHIP |
These appeals contest decisions regarding accreditation, re-accreditation, or recognition made by any of the specified committees:
Each relevant Committee makes its decisions regarding accreditation, re-accreditation or training course recognition, by evaluating an application according to a very specific set of criteria outlined in the relevant Bye Laws. If these criteria are not fully met, accreditation, re-accreditation or training course recognition will not be granted. The applicant will be informed of the grounds for refusal, with details of the areas in which the criteria have not been met. The applicant may reapply once the deficit has been addressed (please see relevant Bye Law for further information).
Thus, the grounds for appeal are that the Committee did not follow the correct procedures regarding the particular application for accreditation, re-accreditation or recognition of a training course.
An appeal against a decision of the Committee should be lodged within 20 working days of the date of receipt of the refusal.
To lodge a complaint individuals must:
Please refer to Bye Law 10A – The Appeals Procedure for full details.
The appeal will be heard by The Appeals Board which is governed by Bye Law 10.
Decisions of the Appeals Board are final and binding on all parties.
The refusal of an appeal does not prevent the applicant from re-applying when the deficit in their application is addressed.
