ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Participation by service users is at all times voluntary and shall be based on the principle of informed consent. Where possible, a service user’s informed consent for interview shall also grant permission for the audit team to review that service user’s file. This consent should be obtained in writing.
Service users should be invited by their disability service provider to both the opening and closing meetings of all audits.
It is suggested that a proposed strategy for sampling service users should be developed by the disability service provider in consultation with relevant stakeholders, and negotiated with the SAI Global audit team so that we can most effectively quote for certification services.
The service provider must advise SAI Global when sites relocate or of the opening or closing of a site.
The process for transferring certification shall be in accordance with IAF MD 2:2007.
