An applicant may appeal to the IACP Supervision Appeals Panel

  • One Accredited Member of IACP who is not currently serving on the IACP Board of Directors, and who is not currently serving on the IACP Supervision Committee and who has been an IACP Accredited Member for a minimum of five consecutive years.

The IACP Board of Directors appoints members to the IACP Supervision Appeals Panel as the need arises.

  • An appeal must be made within four weeks of the notification date of the refused original application for supervisor accreditation. The appeal must be accompanied by a fee of €38 which is refundable if the appeal is upheld.

  • The grounds for appeal should be clearly and specifically stated.

  • An applicant may support their appeal by submitting up to five hundred (500) words of comment or information pertinent to the appeal.
