Five key steps to being a good AAC assessor
- Keep in touch with the Faculty - this means checking you have been properly appointed to each Advisory Appointments Committee, asking any questions you have, and providing feedback (quickly!) via the assessors' report form [word 317KB].
- Read the Faculty's guidance for assessors [word 459KB] – and make sure you are clear about your role.
- Make sure you see all applications - assessors must see all applications and be involved in the entire process, including short-listing, interview, any presentations, etc.
- Ask questions - and ask them as soon as possible. If you have doubts/queries/concerns about an applicant or their qualifications, it is much, much easier to clarify at short-listing stage than on the day of the interview
- Be assertive - you are there as part of a robust and stringent selection process and are representing and protecting the profession. If you have concerns, make them known!
