A senior officer should review all appeal cases to consider whether they are suitable for submission to the appeals unit.

If a case is not suitable, the senior officer should return the case to the decision-maker either:

  • listing any further action(s) required
  • confirming why it is not suitable for an appeal hearing.

If the case is suitable then the senior officer should:

  • countersign the appeal brief
  • enter any comments as appropriate
  • refer the case to the appeals unit.
