NICE process and methods
12 Accessibility and adjustments
NICE wishes to ensure that the appeal process is fair and accessible to all appellants. If an appellant or their representative needs any reasonable adjustments to the appeal hearing or appeal process so they can participate effectively, this should be raised with the appeals team at the earliest opportunity. Possible reasons for an adjustment would include any difficulties in participating created by any of the protected characteristics listed in the Equality Act 2010. However, pressure of work or conflicting professional commitments cannot be accepted as a reason for an adjustment.
