Policy Statement 3.6.3.4 states: Trainers and Assessors should note that where independent assessment is required, the assessor should have had no contact with the candidates during their training. In addition, an assessor must not be related to the course trainer or any of the candidates. The following examples are an indication of the circumstances where an assessor would not be deemed independent: The spouse, partner, child, brother or sister of the Trainer or candidates A person who works at the same facility or club as the trainer or candidate
