We have received 1 query:

1Q) The contract is for a 12 month period, but the Accreditation Panel dates are given for 2017. Should we be factoring capacity to prepare assessments for the February 2018 Accreditation panel meeting (or just up to the November 2016 meeting)?

1A) - It is likely that assessors will need to factor in capacity to prepare assessments for the February 2018 Panel as the contract will likely start towards the end of February 2017 for a period of 12 months and therefore end at the end of Feb 2018. It is likely therefore that a Feb 2018 panel meeting will take place during the contract period. We didn't provide panel dates for February 2018 as these are yet to be confirmed and are usually confirmed towards the end of 2017.
