A robust and effective disclosure system should ensure the person receiving the disclosure:
- Has accurate information, by ensuring the disclosure provides relevant material
- Is able to understand the information and any conflict of interest
- Know who to forward (or not forward to) the disclosure to, for the preliminary assessment, so they can:
- Identify the potential issues
- Make a preliminary assessment of issues
- Identify potential conflicts of interest
- Make an initial recommendation to investigate, not investigate or undertake another course of action
