Appeal process for unsuccessful applicants

If the Board rejects your application you have the right to appeal. The following guidelines and procedures apply:

An appeal needs to be made in writing to the Board by the organisation concerned.
Bond undertakes to give specific reasons for rejection. The appeal should explain why the organisation considers the reasons given to be invalid.
An appeals committee panel will be formed by the Board to consider the appeal.
The appeals committee panel will be provided with all the relevant documentation and correspondence relating to the membership application.
The appeals committee panel will report back to the next Board meeting giving feedback and a recommendation that the rejection should be upheld or overturned. Feedback will also be given to the applicant, if again rejected, giving reasons for rejection.
There will be no further recourse to appeal the decision taken by the Board.
