Policies and Procedures
IiST Policies
IiST policies and procedures provide the professional framework for training, accreditation, registration and practice. Trainees and professional members are responsible for reading the policies relevant to them and for referring to the current published version.
Policies may be revised, so documents downloaded or saved previously should be checked against the most up-to-date version available on TriX.
Complaints about IiST training, provision or processes are managed under the IiST Student Complaints and Grievance Procedures Policy.

Any concern about the safety or welfare of a child or vulnerable person must be reported immediately through safeguarding procedures.
