CII bags slew of new talent for Independent Review Pool
The Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) has appointed nine new members to its Independent Review Pool (IRP), including a qualified chair, in a bid to bring new talent with different backgrounds and fields of expertise to the forefront.
Professor Jane Jarman (pictured) of Nottingham Trent University is named the new legally qualified chair of the IRP.
The IRP conducts review and tribunal service for the disciplinary and eligibility functions of the CII and is independent of the CII.
The pool consists of CII/PFS members, lay members (those who are separate from the insurance and financial planning professions) and legally qualified members. Alongside tribunal service, the IRP may carry out other review services for the CII as required by the Professional Standards Committee (PSC).
Melissa Collett, executive director of professional standards for the CII, said: “This recruitment campaign for the new IRP members has brought in some fantastic new talent and people with so many different backgrounds and fields of experience.
“We are delighted to have such a strong pool of individuals to bring a fresh perspective to the CII’s disciplinary framework and help us develop and strengthen the processes we already have in place, as well as coming up with new ideas.”
Collett added: “We have recruited 9 new IRP members, including a new legally qualified Chair, Professor Jane Jarman, who brings a wealth of experience in disciplinary matters, having advised a number of regulators and professional bodies in recent years, both in the UK and internationally.”
Jarman said: “I am delighted to have been asked to lead the CII’s new Independent Review Pool. I’m looking forward to the opportunity to work with the wider pool members to deliver the robust and independent processes that CII members expect, while ensuring we work collectively to uphold the high standards that are essential across our sector.”
