Candidates have the right to raise matters of legitimate concern through this Appeals Policy without the risk of disadvantage, victimisation, or criticism. To support this, the RCoA recognises the importance of confidentiality when handling appeals and will maintain an appellant’s anonymity as far as is possible during any investigation. It will occasionally be necessary to disclose an appellant’s identity to progress an investigation, and this will be done as a matter of routine should any hearing by an Appeals Panel be necessary.
All appeals and supporting evidence will be treated in strict confidence.
The Examination Department or Appeal Panel will only disclose information to relevant parties on a need-to-know basis.
