Contact Officers and Authorisation
An organisation’s Primary Contact Officer is the first point of contact for all communications from us.
The Secondary Contact Officer is an optional back-up for the Primary Contact Officer. We include both contacts in our correspondence.
We consider an organisation’s CEO (or equivalent) is automatically authorised to act on behalf of their organisation on all OGTR matters. Some guidance is outlined in the Guidance note for OGTR Contact Roles and Authorisation on the roles and the authority expected of key contacts in interactions between the organisation and the OGTR.
