| Q |
I see I can submit a request for a new category. How likely is this to be accepted? |
| A |
We’ve tried to find a framework that would work well but there are always exceptions. We will assess each request and if other members agree, the change will be made. |

|
| Q |
What does ‘status’ mean in relation to the Directory? |
| A |
Consultants can choose to have their profile visible or hidden. We’ve made ‘hidden’ an option for anyone who is committed to a project but is continuing to be contacted by clients with project leads. |

|
| Q |
I’ve submitted my profile to the Directory but I can’t find it. Why? |

Once a profile has been submitted, it requires a moderator to approve it before it goes live. This is necessary to ensure that there is a sufficient amount of content and to ensure that the Directory is not abused. |
