Confidentiality and making the Decision Known

The proceedings of the Investigation Panel, Disciplinary Panel and Appeals Panel shall remain confidential to the CL:AIRE Executive and members of the panels and shall not be disclosed to third parties, other than to the Respondent and Complainant, their representatives and regulators (EA / NRW).

Where the final decision results in the complaint being upheld and removal of the QP permanently from the Register, the outcome may be made public on the CL:AIRE website. Furthermore, the QPs Professional Institute and employer will also be notified of the decision.

Where a complaint is found not to be upheld, the proceedings and outcome will not be made public unless the Respondent specifically requests this.

If the Respondent tenders their resignation as a QP from the Register during the main or appeals procedure, the process will be continued to a conclusion. If the complaint is upheld, the result may be made public on the CL:AIRE website and the QPs Professional Institute and employer will also be notified of the decision.
