whether each candidate meets the essential criteria
in the person specification for the post for which
they have applied
• Ask questions at the AAC that probe a candidate’s
training and background
• Be part of the overall deliberations that decide
whether each candidate is appointable
• Contribute to the decision-making process of
ranking the candidates
• Ensure that the process of appointment is conducted
fairly and any issues of potential discrimination are
raised with the trust
• Feedback to the College after the appointment
