A Supervisory Panel has been set up to over see the REAL Assurance Scheme Consumer Code. The members of the Panel are drawn from a wide range of stakeholder organisations. Some are involved in the sustainable energy industry directly and some are independent.
The Panel is chaired by Dr. Gill Owen who is Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for Management Under Regulation (CMUR) at Warwick University Business School, Chair of the Public Utilities Access Forum and a member of the Government’s Fuel Poverty Advisory Group. She is an independent of the industry.
The role of the Panel is to oversee the adoption, maintenance and updating of Code. You can find further details about the role of the Panel in the Consumer Code and in the REAL Assurance Ltd. Bye-Laws. If you would like to contact a member of the Supervisory Panel, you can do so through REAL Assurance Ltd.
Please note that (other than Government officials) Panel members are acting in their own capacity.
