How we work
The 12 members of Council will normally meet in public
four times a year. Members also attend strategic
seminars in the intervening months, to discuss key
areas of our work.
The Council has eight committees, three of which are non-staturory and have been constituted in line with good governance practice:
- Audit and Risk Committee
- Remuneration Committee
- Nominations Committee
The other five committees are staturory committees of the GOC as defined under the Opticians Act and related Rules:
- Companies Committee
- Education
- Investigation
- Registration
- Standards
The Council's Fitness to Practise and Registration Appeals Committee are populated by independent hearings panel members.
