Appeals
A registrant who believes that they have been incorrectly removed from the register shall, within 14 days of receipt of a letter advising of their removal submit to the RCCP evidence that they do meet the requirements of registration with RCCP contrary to the reasons sent out in the notification.
The Registrar of RCCP will consider such evidence from the Registrant and advise them within 14 days that their registration has been restored and if it hasn’t been restored, the reason(s) why.
The Registrant may further appeal to the RCCP Council by email to the Chairman chair@rccp.co.uk containing both their evidence for restoration to the register and the response from the registrar giving reasons why their restoration has not been accepted. Failure to provide both will mean that the appeal will not be considered by the RCCP Council. The decision of the Council shall be final.
