Motions to Amend Byelaws
Two motions are proposed by the Executive Committee. There are no member motions.
Motion 1 – The NCH adopts the Revised Bye Law 1
It has become clear that the NCH Code of Ethics, whilst excellent, will be redundant or superflous as UKCHO move towards Voluntary Self Regulation and the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC). The NCH Executive proposes that the NCH Code of Ethics, enshrined in Bye Law 1, be brought into line with the CNHC Code, which is sanctioned by the Department of Health.
Document: Proposed New Bye Law 1
Motion 2 – The NCH adopts the Revised Bye Law 2
During the past year, problems with way the Grievance and Complaints procedure could be triggered were highlighted and in resolving these, necessary changes to the Bye Law were identified. The Executive Committee proposes changes to the Grievance and Public Protection Procedures, enshrined in Bye Law 2, to allow a complainant’s right to confidentiality to be waived in cases where the best interests of the NCH as an organisation are compromised.
