All appointments to the Civil Service Appeal Board are made in line with the guidance on public appointments to advisory non-departmental public bodies issued by the Office of the Commissioner for Public Appointments.
Prospective Board Members are selected for interview from those nominated either by the Council of Civil Service Unions for the trade union side or departments and agencies for the official side.
Normally members will be appointed for a three-year term with the opportunity for reappointment for a second three-year term making a maximum of six years. The contribution of all members is assessed annually by the Chairs and similarly the contribution of the Chairs is also assessed.
