Governance

The British Association of Sport Rehabilitators and Athletic Therapy Ltd (BASRaT) is a not for profit company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales (Company Registration Number 16350982). The objects and articles give BASRaT an organisational structure designed to ensure the ability to carry out the multiple functions of accreditation, membership and registration effectively and efficiently, whilst still meeting the current and future standards of a Professional Standards Authority in Health and Social Care accredited register holder.

BASRaT is split into two main parts; the overall governance and strategic direction is overseen by the elected Board of Directors and this is supported by the employed operational side of the Executives Office. The operational side of BASRaT supports the Board of Directors and provides continuity of expertise in all the key operational areas.

In its operation the Board of Directors follows the articles of association. The make-up of which is designed to maximise effectiveness and efficiency whilst minimising undue individual influence and conflicts of interest.

The Board, which has overall strategic oversight of the organisation, makes a full report to members at the Annual General Meeting where they answer questions that arise from that year's activities; accountability and transparency are key to Board functioning The structural conditions the Board operates under also work to ensure integrity e.g. the rules around committee turn-over.

BASRaT has a separate Regulatory Committee whose overall aim is to ensure transparency and that the actions of the board and Fitness to Practise panels are fair, appropriate and match BASRaT’s articles and objects.

Conflicts of Interest Policy

Articles of Association

The employees in the CE office are not part of the Board (except the Chief Executive) and follow published frameworks in their operational duties. All key accreditation and registration processes are governed by clear frameworks, minimising the potential for subjective decisions that could affect either of these areas. Membership functions are a soft process and largely reflect the development of an open, transparent, effective and safe healthcare occupation. If a potential registrant does not meet registration standards, it is not administratively possible for them to proceed to registration. Additionally, the BASRaT registration exam offers an additional, objective, quality assurance step in the registration process.

The Professional Standards Authority in Health and Social Care (PSA) provides oversight of BASRaT’s governance and operations. The PSA assesses both Statutory Regulators and Accredited Registers annually and publishes a report on their performance against the PSA standards:
