(We use the term “organisation” to refer to both regulators and Accredited Registers.)
Return to the full list of StandardsStandard 1: Good Governance
What do we expect?
The organisation publicly reports on its performance, identifies and acts on learning and addresses concerns about its performance.
Why is it important?
So that public protection and public confidence is improved by the organisation monitoring its performance, identifying and acting upon concerns and relevant learning. Everyone can be clear about how well the organisation is performing in key areas.
What does this mean in practice?
- The organisation is transparent in reporting on its performance.
- The organisation analyses its own performance to identify areas for learning and improvement, and acts on issues identified.
- Relevant learning and best practice from external reports and inquiries, including PSA publications, is identified, considered, and integrated into policy and practice.
