What is the first step for a member seeking reinstatement after a cancellation?

The correct approach for a member seeking reinstatement after a cancellation is to apply to the ASET Council after a designated period, typically one year. This step is essential as it places the responsibility on the member to demonstrate their readiness for reinstatement and allows the Council to assess the situation, including any remedial actions taken by the member since the cancellation.

By requiring a wait of one year, it ensures that the member has had sufficient time to reflect on the circumstances of their cancellation and to make any necessary changes that support their case for reinstatement. This process helps maintain the integrity of the profession, as it requires candidates to show accountability and a commitment to professional standards.

The other options may seem applicable at first glance but do not align with the established process for reinstatement. For instance, submitting a new application may imply a fresh start without addressing the reasons behind the cancellation, and waiting three years or insisting on a review without an official application process does not facilitate a structured path towards reinstatement. Thus, applying to the ASET Council after one year emerges as the clear and structured procedure for reinstatement.
