Ensuring Fair Treatment
Everybody has the right to have their Disclosure information treated sensitively and confidentially and to have their Certificate protected from unauthorised access.
AccessNI requires Registered Bodies (RB’s) to comply with a code of practice to ensure that Disclosure information is handled confidentially, sensitively and fairly by organisations.
All information must be held securely and should be disposed of when decisions based on the information have been taken.
AccessNI will monitor RB’s to ensure they are complying with the Code of Practice and will be able to produce performance reports against each.
AccessNI has a number of sanctions available to it including suspension and de-registration of Lead and Countersignatories.
The Code of Practice will be made available in hardcopy if required.
