Availability of evidence - centre responsibility to make all relevant evidence available at an EV visit
Audit trail- full description of the evidence; explanation of how it enables candidate to demonstrate specific parts of the standards; precise location of the evidence – includes evidence which is confidential
Material for visit - CPD records; full sample
Internal verification- danger of becoming routine; clear record of
action taken
