The JAG will continue to be accountable to its key stakeholders for all issues related to training. It will be accountable to the health services of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland for all certification activities.

In 2010, the JAG strengthened and formalised its governance arrangements and reporting structures to support its widened remit. The JAG needs to operate under a legal framework for its certification activities. The JAG intends to be recognised as a formal certification body through a nationally recognised scheme. A legal framework is required for this to happen.

In 2009 the JAG introduced a new complaints policy for its clients. All complaints and feedback are recorded and reported to the committee.

The JAG works to the Freedom of Information Act and provide reports and information as required.

The JAG’s strengthened governance ensures better integration of planning, budgeting, performance management and reporting functions.

A format for a new Annual Report to the JAG Committee and key stakeholders will be developed to reflect the performance outcomes achieved through each year.
