What happens if the ASET Practice Review Board decides that further investigation is not necessary?

When the ASET Practice Review Board determines that further investigation is not necessary, the appropriate course of action is to discontinue the review process and notify the Council. This ensures that the protocol followed is in line with the governance and regulatory framework of ASET. Discontinuing the review signifies that the board found sufficient grounds to resolve the matter without needing additional evidence or inquiry. Notifying the Council keeps all relevant parties informed of the status of the review, maintaining transparency in the process.

Other options suggest scenarios that do not align with the typical procedures in such cases. For instance, reinstatement would imply that the member was previously suspended or facing disciplinary action, which is not directly related to the decision to not pursue further investigation. Collecting further evidence would contradict the board's conclusion of sufficiency, and automatic appeals would indicate a mandatory escalation of the process, which is not standard when a review is discontinued for lack of further inquiry.
