Licence Standards and Governance: How Evidence Is Reviewed

Licensing relies on verifiable evidence and a consistent review. Governance helps make decisions fair, predictable and clear about what is required and who reviews it.

• Clear criteria: each step maps to a published requirement, with specific follow-up when evidence is missing.
• Impartial assessment: practice hours, assessments and ethics are checked against records, with conflicts managed and assessors recused when needed.
• Role separation: training, assessment, sales and licensing decisions are separated so a licence is not simply a result of purchasing or completing a course.
• Scope of practice: practitioners work within their competence, protect confidentiality and informed consent, and refer clients when needs fall outside coaching.
• Review and appeal: applicants may request clarification or appeal through the channels and time limits in the current policy and agreement.
