Defined authority
Responsibilities for standards, review, decisions, complaints, and appeals are documented.
Institutional assurance
Governance that protects accreditation decisions
Clear authority, competent oversight, documented controls, and accountable review help keep accreditation consistent and credible.
Key considerations
What independent review adds
Competent oversight
People undertaking accreditation work are selected for relevant capability and supported by controls.
Recorded accountability
Material decisions, changes, conflicts, and actions are traceable.
01
Decision governance
Decision authority is separate from applicant marketing claims and is exercised against the applicable standard and scope.
02
Risk and quality oversight
Governance considers impartiality, data handling, reviewer consistency, complaint themes, changes to standards, corrective actions, and operational resilience.
03
Framework review
Standards and processes are periodically reviewed for clarity, relevance, consistency, proportionality, and alignment with the needs of credible professional education.
Governance supports confidence in our private accreditation activity; it does not confer governmental or statutory authority.
