What is the role of the Scottish National Standards for Information and Advice Providers Panel?
The accreditation service is overseen by an independent panel of experts, supported by HomePoint at Communities Scotland. This National Standards Panel is responsible for: • overseeing and monitoring the accreditation process; • approving changes to the Standards; • the final phase of the appeal process; • reporting progress to Ministers on an annual basis; and • advising on the strategic direction of audit of advice agencies.
