This article outlines the 'Policies' pillar of our Data Quality and Integrity Program. SLCP has robust systems and protocols to ensure that VBs and Verifiers are aware of SLCP standards and processes and are equipped to provide high quality reports.
VB Terms of Use:
The Terms of Use are a binding agreement between VBs and SLCP. It defines the terms, conditions, requirements for VBs and associated Verifiers to obtain and maintain SLCP-approval to perform verifications.
Verification protocol:
The Verification Protocol contains the procedures, rules and process requirements for conducting an SLCP verification.
Verifier Guidance:
The Guidance accompanies the Verification Protocol with more details on how to verify a facility’s answers to questions in the Data Collection Tool and how to write the report.
QA Manual:
The QA Manual explains SLCP’s approach to data quality and integrity and provides details on all Quality Assurance activities executed by the Verification Oversight Organization (VOO) and SLCP. It describes the process to investigate data quality mistakes, unethical behavior cases and related consequences for VBs, Verifiers, and facilities, among others.
VB Requirements:
SLCP Verifier Bodies (VBs) and Verifiers must meet these requirements to maintain their approved status and conduct SLCP verifications.
CAF Terms of Use:
