12A

(1)

The body must—

(a)

participate in arrangements within paragraph 20(1), and

(2)

In sub-paragraph (1) “the designated persons” means the persons who, under the arrangements, have the function of deciding whether (and, if so, what) disciplinary action should be taken against a member of the body in the light of an investigation carried out under the arrangements.
