What must an ASET member do if their registration is cancelled or suspended?

When an ASET member’s registration is cancelled or suspended, they are required to surrender any certificates, stamps, or seals to the Registrar. This action demonstrates compliance with the regulatory standards governing the profession and acknowledges the cessation of their ability to practice. By returning these items, the member is adhering to the rules which are in place to protect public safety and maintain the integrity of the profession. Additionally, surrendering these items prevents the potential misuse of professional credentials during the period of suspension or cancellation.

While other actions may seem pertinent in terms of public communication or legal recourse, the specific requirement to surrender certificates and seals directly addresses the management of professional status and the immediate legal implications of cancelling or suspending an individual’s registration. This step also serves to formally notify the entity governing the profession that the member is no longer authorized to practice.
