Process overview: This process will allow users with the correct access rights to approve or reject a requested suspension for a member. The outcome of this process is that the membership will either be suspended, or the proposed suspension will be rejected.
The request to suspend the person’s membership will need to have been submitted first, please see the user guide ‘Requesting a member’s suspension‘ for guidance on how to do this. This guide then explains how the next relevant Commissioner in the hierarchy can approve or reject the request. For example, if the request has made by a District Commissioner it needs to be approved or rejected by the relevant County/Area/Region (Scotland) Commissioner.
