18. “Reflection”
“ Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump on the back of his head, behind Christopher Robin. It is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming downstairs, but sometimes he feels there really is another way, if only he could stop bumping for a moment and think of it. And then he feels perhaps there isn’t.”
Milne 1926 P 1

There is an appeal process.

28. Deferral
If you are picked to return your CPD profile and, due to circumstances outwith your control you are unable to do so, you can ask for a deferral
