A2.6.6 Strategies to help those entities experiencing particular difficulties

Cochrane Centres have a responsibility to support the Cochrane entities located in those countries for which they act as a reference Centre. Once an entity that appears to be experiencing particular difficulties has been identified, the Monitoring and Registration Committee alerts the Centre Director(s) of the reference Cochrane Centre to the potential or actual problem. It is then the responsibility of the Centre Director(s) to determine what steps, if any, can be taken to provide additional support to the entity.

If the Monitoring and Registration Committee is concerned about a Cochrane Centre, it informs the Co-Chairs of the Steering Group and the Director(s) of the Centre. It is the responsibility of the Co-Chairs to decide what steps should be taken to provide additional support to the entity.
