Response position and delivery status are recorded separately. Acceptance does not establish implementation.
Recommendation (the Committee's words)
We recommend that OCPA and the NHS Appointments Commission should work together to produce integrated, competency-based, induction and development programmes for independent assessors, together with a model, light appraisal system. This should be the basis of an accreditation or ‘kite-mark’ without which an independent assessor would be unable to act.

Government response
Government response (the government's words)
The Government supports this recommendation. The NHS Appointments Commission has already undertaken a great deal of work on competency-based recruitment, induction and appraisal. The Government believes there is much to be gained from the Commissioner working with the NHS Appointments Commission and departments to develop induction programmes for independent assessors as well an appraisal system. As mentioned in the response to recommendation 11, the Government also feels that accreditation
of independent assessors is an important issue that should be given further consideration by the Commissioner in consultation with the Cabinet Office and departments.
