The PCCB will make sure that search organisations and HIP providers comply with the Codes. We also give advice on the interpretation of the Codes to subscribers. The PCCB will:
- Monitor compliance with the standards set out in the Search Code and HIP Code, through compliance visits and mystery shopper visits.
- Discipline organisations which do not comply with the Codes. The PCCB will ask organisations to respond to evidence of a breach and insist that they comply. If a subscriber fails to do so, they will be withdrawn from the Register of Subscribing Firms.
- Maintain a Register of all organisations which subscribe to the Codes.
- Encourage non-subscribing firms to sign-up to the Codes.
- Contribute to the regular reviews undertaken on the Codes.
We cannot become involved in disputes between customers and their search or HIP provider. The PCCB is however interested in hearing of cases where the search or HIP provider appears to have breached the Codes.
