Internal investigation

Global Network Group holds the right to start an internal investigation, at all times, in all matters and at its sole discretion. If a situation is noticed in which no complaint is filed or we experience the need for improvement or change, the internal investigation is the appropriate management tool to gather all relevant information, to reflect on the outcomes and based on that to consider updating rules, regulations, procedures and to implement the necessary improvements. The participation in an internal investigation is compulsory for all our practitioners. The participation of the clients of our practitioners, if applicable, is required, considered as valuable, relevant and necessary, however, can not be enforced. An internal investigation is confidential unless decided differently. All outcomes are reported to ICC Council.

Fraternal counselling

Global Network Group facilitates peer counselling for the registered and certified practitioners. We do understand practitioners might experience professional issues and dilemmas during their work on which they wish to reflect confidentially with another professional. Senior and highly experienced practitioners are available to provide the required peer counselling. Peer counselling is only available for certified practitioners, but not for their clients.
