and the facilitation of surveillance activities. The implementation of these Requirements is necessary to avoid public health risks. The purpose of this document is to assist medical and scientific Laboratory professionals in finding relevant information and to reduce the need for constant cross referencing of other documents. These Requirements are intended to serve as minimum standards in the accreditation process and have been developed with reference to current and proposed Australian regulations and other standards from the International Organization for Standardization including: AS ISO Medical laboratories – Requirements for quality and competence These Requirements should be read within the national pathology accreditation framework including the current versions of the following NPAAC documents: Tier 2 Document Requirements for Medical Pathology Services All Tier 3 Documents Tier 4 Document Requirements for the Medical Testing of Human Nucleic Acids In addition to these Standards, Laboratories must comply with all relevant state and territory legislation (including any reporting requirements). These Requirements are written as specific principles and are designed to serve without alteration until the next revision date. The following principles cover the entire document: Laboratories must be able to demonstrate continued compliance with NPAAC Standards in their assessment history. Failure to meet these minimum Standards poses a potential risk to public health and patient safety. In each section of this document, points deemed important for practice are identified as either ‘Standards’ or ‘Commentaries’. A Standard is the minimum requirement for a procedure, method, staffing resource or facility that is required before a Laboratory can attain accreditation – Standards are printed in bold type and prefaced with an ‘S’ (e.g. S2.2). The use of the word ‘must’ in each Standard within this document indicates a mandatory requirement for pathology practice. A Commentary is provided to give clarification to the Standards as well as to provide examples and guidance on interpretation. Commentaries are prefaced with a ‘C’ (e.g. C1.2) and are placed where they add the most value. Commentaries may be normative or informative depending on both the content and the context of whether they are associated with a Standard or not. Note that when comments are expanding on a Standard or referring to other legislation, they assume the same status and importance

How to close the charity down. The name given to you charity's governing document will depend on its legal form. The most common legal forms for charities are: Legal form Type of constitution or governing document Company Articles of association Unincorporated association Constitution Trust Trust deed Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO) SCIO constitution Community Benefit Society Rules
the charity trustees are satisfied it is in the interest of the charity for the services to be provided by the charity trustee for that maximum amount. If your governing document says that the charity trustees cannot be paid, then even if the rules from the 2005 Act are met, you will not be able to pay any of the charity trustees. Examples of when it might be reasonable to pay a charity trustee, provided the conditions above are met: When a local tradesman is a charity trustee and provides services to the charity at a competitive rate. When employees of the charity are also charity trustees because of their position: for example, as chief executive or because they are elected as a staff representative. An indirect payment to a charity trustee is where two or more charity trustees are connected and one of them is being paid. See the flowchart below to see if a payment meets the conditions. What are the for paying a connected person?
A vulnerable adult is anyone over 16 years of age who is unable to safeguard themselves, their property and their rights Charities have a wider responsibility to protect their staff, volunteers and beneficiaries in general. It’s important that charities consider how to promote wellbeing and welfare of all the individuals they work with. However, this guidance focuses on the safeguarding of vulnerable beneficiaries. Many charities may have vulnerable beneficiaries who also work for the charity as volunteers or paid staff. In these circumstances the safeguarding of those staff and volunteers needs to be considered alongside the employment and volunteering responsibilities of the charity. In this guidance we look at what’s meant by safeguarding and highlight key steps that charity trustees can take to make sure that it is considered in an appropriate way for their charity. The guidance also looks at how the as set out in the (the 2005 Act) can relate to safeguarding issues. What this guidance does not cover This guidance looks at the general principles of safeguarding; it doesn’t cover detailed requirements for different types of charities, such as those working overseas or in the care sector.
Policy Alerts RECOGNITION AND AWARDS The most significant changes to VA Directive and Handbook 5017, Employee Recognition and Awards, include: * Expands eligibility for Superior Performance Awards to 38 employees. * Clarifies that Quality Step Increases may only be granted within the grade level that it was earned. * Increases non-tangible award values in Part III, Appendix A. * Updates and replaces the delegation authorities to approve incentive awards for each of the Administrations. ENTRANCE AND EXIT SURVEYS VA Directive 5004 is being reissued in its entirety to set forth the policies and responsibilities for implementing the entrance and exit survey processes. The purpose of these surveys is to provide new employees the opportunity to communicate their reasons for choosing employment with VA and voluntarily separating employees the opportunity to communicate their reasons for leaving. The information will assist VA in identifying methods to improve recruitment and marketing efforts as well as employee retention. SPECIAL RETIREMENT PROVISIONS FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS AND FIREFIGHTERS POLICY VA has issued a policy regarding procedures for requesting an exemption for Law Enforcement Officers (LEO) and Firefighters (FF) from the mandatory separation age. This policy outlines procedures for requesting an exemption for LEO and FF to the mandatory retirement separation age of 57. There are different procedures for making an exemption based on the two separate retirement systems, Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS)/Federal Employee Retirement System (FERS), under which LEO and FF can retire based on mandatory separation due to age. Sample memorandums and letters were created to make processing mandatory retirement/separations for LEO and FF and for requesting an exemption of the mandatory separation an easier transition for Human Resources offices.

really big thing,” Suzanne says. “It was the first time in his life that he left a room—we were in a cabin—and he was able to open the door, wheel outside, go to an entirely different part of the campground, attend a meeting, and stay as long as he wanted without his mother or dad having to escort him.” The weekend retreat was just a beginning, Suzanne adds. “Josh had lost hope, and Full Life Ahead helped him adjust his attitude and get his hope back. It helped to rescue him from what was turning into depression.” The next breakthrough occurred when a job coach mentioned to Josh that he had connected someone else with a job working at a local VA hospital. “That planted a seed in Josh, and he knew he wanted that,” Suzanne says. Josh had worked for a local grocery store, but the weekend at Children’s Harbor helped him realize his many gifts, and he knew he wanted a career—not just a job. He applied and was hired at the VA, initially to greet people as they entered; later, he visited people in the various hospital clinics. Soon he was promoted to working with veterans on computer-software programs. “I feel like I’m appreciated here,” says Josh, who radiates confidence, arrives at work impeccably dressed in a suit. He has become an integral member of the hospital staff.

ODI has been very busy reaching out to our stakeholders within VA and beyond. We recently hosted a preconference training event at VHA’s National EEO Conference in Dallas, Texas, in early June. We addressed over 150 EEO and diversity practitioners from all across the country and provided a variety of training experiences in the area of VA’s Diversity & Inclusion Strategic Plan, workforce diversity, cultural competency, and barrier analysis.
ODI is to share with you the President’s recently-issued Executive Order on Establishing a Coordinated Government-wide Initiative to Promote Diversity and Inclusion in the Federal Workforce (read more at ). VA’s ODI played a prominent role in the issuance of this Executive Order. Currently, the Office of Personnel Management, the Office of Management and Budget, and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission are working to develop and issue a Government-wide Diversity and Inclusion Strategic Plan. As you may know, VA already has such a plan in place (visit ) which served as the model for the Government-wide Plan. The VA Diversity Council will revisit this plan to ensure that it aligns with the new Government-wide plan generated by this Executive Order. ODI was also pleased to participate in VA’s highly successful 2011 HR Conference in July and August. I want to thank each of you who attended and who stopped by our ODI booth. ODI staff served as facilitators for four of the courses offered at the Conference: Diversity Outreach and Recruitment; Attracting, Leading, and Retaining a Cross-Generational Workforce; Schedule A Authority for Hiring Individuals with Disabilities; and Reasonable Accommodation Procedures. If you missed any of these courses, or if you missed the Conference all together, see the article on ODI’s Training and Communications team below to learn more about how we can assist you with your training needs. We are also to share that VA was selected by the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU) to receive the Outstanding HACU Public Partner Award in recognition of the Department’s commitment to this important segment of our workforce diversity. To that end, ODI was proud to have HACU as a partner in its new National Diversity Internship Program through which we sponsored over 100 student interns from diverse postsecondary educational institutions. Read more about the HACU Award on page 6. On the of awards, the Assistant Secretary for Human Resources and Administration will assist the Secretary in presenting the Diversity and Inclusion Excellence Awards and Alternative Dispute Resolution Excellence Awards at a formal ceremony to be held in conjunction with the Office of Resolution Management on October 21 in the G. V. “Sonny” Montgomery Veterans Conference Center, VA Central Office. Please mark your calendars and join us in recognizing our champions of diversity in VA, or check out the live broadcast on the VA Knowledge Network. Thank you as always for your continued commitment to diversity and inclusion in VA! ~Georgia Coffey, VA Deputy Assistant Secretary for Diversity and Inclusion Photograph of Georgia Coffey Commemorate NATIONAL HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH

The field trip was very interesting. I truly enjoyed watching some of the things we discussed in class being used and applied on a larger scale. I enjoyed listening to the young man in the lab, because he was so energetic about what he does. It was fascinating to watch first-hand how technology can be used so efficiently to understand so much about plants, their capacity for use, and about our planet. If I were to give any suggestion, it would be that we move a bit slower on some of the more complicated material. This way, we can have an easier time truly understanding and digesting the information. Other than that, I have thoroughly enjoyed the program thus far and I am definitely looking forward to week two!
events. The interactive process is critical; decisions can’t be made without communicating with the requester to determine the issues and what is suitable. Decisions should be made as quickly as possible, and always within 30 calendar days. The Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act (ADAAA) has reduced the emphasis on whether an individual has a covered disability. Any disability that is not transitory and minor is considered to be covered by the Rehabilitation Act, which was amended to include the protections provided by the Americans with Disabilities Act. The VA Handbook will be revised to reflect the ADAAA. The caveat that if an employee has a visible disability or has submitted medical documentation in the past, VA cannot request new documentation still stands. It is critical that VA uses the correct form, VA Form 0857e. If the medical provider completes the VA Form 0857e, it will be VA’s policy to not request additional medical documentation. Instead, the facility or office must move to the decision process of whether the request will be granted or denied. Additional documentation can be requested only if the medical provider did not complete the VA 0857e. The request will be limited to the questions on the form: The nature, severity, and duration of the impairment. One or more of the activities the impairment limits (walking, reaching, breathing, etc.). The extent or degree to which the impairment limits an activity. The reason the individual requires accommodation or the particular accommodation requested. How the accommodation will assist the individual in applying for a job, performing the essential functions of the job, or to enjoy a benefits of employment. VA has lost EEO cases when additional medical documentation was requested, so adherence to this guidance is essential to the appropriate processing of accommodation requests. If you have any questions, please contact your EEO Officer. Secretary’s Awards ODI and the Office of Resolution Management joined together to recognize VA employees who have made exemplary accomplishments in furthering VA’s goals in the areas of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) and diversity and inclusion.
