The JAG Committee provides a forum for gaining professional consensus and agreement on standards in endoscopy. It also advises on suitable processes and frameworks to quality assure and enhance those standards.

The JAG Committee members undertake to:

• Attend all JAG Committee meetings. If a member is unavailable to attend they should nominate a deputy or cross-cover who will attend and act on their behalf. 
   
• Report formally back to their constituent bodies after all meetings and to the JAG Committee with matters that may arise within their constituent bodies. 
   
• Be responsible within their organisations for ensuring dissemination and understanding. 
   
• Act as a resource for their organisation regarding questions surrounding the JAG policy and guidance.
