Review and Complaint Procedures under the Code of Practice for Appointments to Positions in the Civil and Public Service If a candidate is unhappy following the outcome of any stage of a selection process, they can either: 1. Request a Review of a decision made during the process Or 2. Make a Complaint that the selection process followed was unfair A candidate can follow either one of the two procedures in relation to the same aspect of a selection process, but not both. Where a review of a selection process has taken place under Section 7 (as detailed below), a complainant may not seek a further review of the same process under Section 8, other than in the most exceptional circumstances that will be determined by the Commission for Public Service Appointments (CPSA) at its sole discretion . There is no obligation on the Courts Service to suspend an appointment process while a Review or Complaint is being considered. However, the CPSA expects that, where possible, the Courts Service will intervene in cases where it finds an error is likely to have occurred. Requesting a Review under Section 7 A request for review may be taken by a candidate should they be dissatisfied with an action or decision taken by the Courts Service. The Courts Service will consider requests for review in accordance with the provisions of Section 7 of the Code of Practice for Appointments to Positions in the Civil and Public Service published by the CPSA. When making a request for a review, the candidate must support their request by outlining the facts they believe show that the action taken or decision reached was wrong. A request for review may be refused if the candidate cannot support their request. The Informal Review will consist of a desk-based examination of any available information in relation to the recruitment process and the decision taken regarding the candidate’s application. The outcome of the Informal Review Process will be communicated to the requester in writing. • A request for Informal Review must be made within 5 working days of notification of the decision and will normally take place between the candidate and a representative of the Courts Service who had played a key role in the administration of the selection process. • Where a candidate remains dissatisfied following any such informal discussion, he/she may adopt the formal procedures set out below. A request for Formal Review must be made within 5 working days of either the notification of the selection decision, or the notification of the outcome of the Informal Review process. Any extension of these time limits will only be granted in the most exceptional of circumstances and will be at the sole discretion of the Chief Executive. • The candidate must address his/her concerns in relation to the process in writing to the Personnel Officer of the Courts Service (via email to careers@courts.ie, or in writing to Personnel Officer, Human Resources, 15/24 Phoenix Street North, Smithfield, Dublin 7), outlining the facts that they believe show an action taken or decision reached was wrong. • The Formal Review will be conducted by a person who is completely independent of the selection process • The outcome of the Formal Review must generally be notified to the candidate within 25 working days of receipt of the request for review. If the investigation does not produce a decision within this time, the Courts Service must keep the candidate informed of the status of the review and the reasons for the delay. Making a Complaint under Section 8 A candidate may believe there was a breach of the Commission’s Code of Practice by the Courts Service that may have compromised the integrity of the decision reached in the appointment process. The complaints process enables candidates to make a complaint under Section 8 to the Courts Service in the first instance, and to the Commission for Public Service Appointments subsequently on appeal if they remain dissatisfied. On foot of a Section 8 Complaint process, either the Courts Service or the CPSA may find that the recruitment and selection process in question has not adhered to the standard set out in the Code of Practice. In such cases, the Courts Service and the CPSA may make recommendations in order to prevent such issues from reoccurring again in the future. The CPSA cannot instruct the Courts Service to reverse a decision taken in the course of an appointment process. Any candidate wishing for an investigation into the decision taken regarding their application as part of a selection process should request a Review under Section 7, as outlined above. The complainant must outline the facts that they believe show that the process followed was wrong. The complainant must also identify the aspect of the Code they believe has been infringed and enclose any relevant documentation that may support the allegation. A complaint may be dismissed if they the complainant cannot support their allegations by setting out how the Public Appointments Service has fallen short of the principles of this Code. The Informal Complaint will consist of a desk-based examination of any available information in relation to the recruitment process. The outcome of the Informal Complaint will be communicated to the requester in writing. • An Informal Complaint must be made within 5 working days of notification of the decision and will normally take place between the candidate and a representative of the Courts Service who had played a key role in the administration of the selection process. • Where a candidate remains dissatisfied following any such informal discussion, he/she may adopt the formal procedures set out below.
