CET matters

Some more of your queries answered by Bill Harvey, with a slant towards some concerns of providers

I recently facilitated at a peer discussion event and am still awaiting my points. Is there a problem?

Participants at peer discussion events will gain three peer to peer points. A facilitator will only gain one interactive point. We have pointed this out in previous columns but I have recently become aware of some of you having to wait an unduly long time for the facilitator point to appear in your account. I have recently found out that this is because the GOC website has, as yet, no means for a provider to upload facilitator points directly. Instead, after an event has taken place, the provider should email to the GOC (jbolt@optical.org) a list of the facilitators involved together with the C and the EV codes for each individual event. Obviously, the facilitator needs to meet the requirement as suitable for facilitation so it is always a good idea for any provider to keep a list of the relevant CVs and experience of anyone facilitating at an event they are responsible for in case of request or audit.
