VERIFICATION CHECK

CPD Verification Check

The random Verification Check is a process whereby Fellows are asked to provide verification documentation for activities claimed during their three-year CPD period.

Documentation

Worksheets and Templates

Who is selected and how?

A random number generator is used to select 10% of Fellows who are completing their three-year CPD period in the current year.

Is anyone excluded?

No. Even Fellows who have completed a Verification Check previously may be selected.

When am I notified?

If you are selected you will be notified at the end of your three-year CPD period.

What happens if I am selected?

You will have six weeks to provide sufficient documentation to verify your CPD activities during your three-year CPD period.

You must provide this documentation to retain your Fellowship and enter your new three-year CPD period.

If you cannot provide this documentation your case may be referred to the Fellowship Review Committee.
