A flow chart titled 'Appointment of Chair / Vice Chair' shows a simple left‑to‑right process with five coloured steps connected by a dotted line.
- Invite (Advertisement): invitations to apply for Chair or Vice Chair are regularly circulated
- Inform (Local Vacancy): REC members are informed of vacancies and how to apply
- Apply (Statements): REC members submit statements and CVs, and references are checked
- Interview (Selection): a panel is created, interviews are held online, and outcomes are shared
- Appoint (Placement): successful members are given a role or placed in a reserve list (“the bank”)
Each step is shown in a different coloured box, linked in order to show the progression from invitation to final appointment.
