Abstract

This Report was commissioned to examine the decision-making in Case Meetings of Council members of CHRE from April 2004' including an analysis of consistency of decision-making, including use of learning points, referrals to the High Court, consistency of seemingly similar cases across regulatory bodies and consistency within categories of misconduct The Report concludes that • there is very little evidence of inconsistency (see above for the one example), • two tools to promote consistency could be considered. One deals with those cases where the key concern is the management of identifiable risks to the public. Here, consistency of process is the most helpful approach. The other deals with those cases where the most important factor is properly reflecting the nature of the misconduct. The benefits of the typology of ‘risk factors’ that is being developed by CHRE may not be fully realised without some indicative tariff.
