During the Public Consultation, the charities understood that there was a proposed scoring system whereby marks would be deducted from our IPC assessment if we did not perform well in the GEC scoring. What is the final decision on this matter?
Based on the feedback, we have changed it to a point allocation system instead of a point deduction system. For compliance of each guideline, a full score of 2 will be allocated, 1 point for partial compliance and 0 point for non-compliance. The Sector Administrators will consider the IPC’s extent of compliance with the Code, reasons for partial compliance and/or non-compliance, when assessing an IPC’s application to extend its IPC status and the length of IPC extension. IPCs with GEC scores above 80% will be considered favourably when they submit the IPC’s applications for assessment by the Sector Administrators.
Other considerations for approval and/or extension of the IPC status include compliance with the Charities Act and/or any regulations made under the Act. Please refer to the Charities (IPC) Regulations and the Charity Portal for more information.
