Apologies for the fact this isn't specifically related to H&S, but we had a visit from a company who provide our NVQ training and he said that the government were planning to have all senior management and business owners hold an NVQ level 6 by 2023!  

a) this seems impracticable

b) unenforecable, and

c) kept very much under the radar.

I was just wondering if this is a misunderstanding of something that has been discussed for LAs and NGOs, or seomthing that will require a lot of very panicky managers to spend on a lot of training.

Regards

Simon

I have heard this in connection with fire extinguishers, first aid boxes and those foil hats that protect you from cosmic rays. All bunk, all a con.

Just ask them what legislation will be used to enforce this new rule. Get specifics; it has to be legislation. It cannot be guidance, standards or cuttings from the Daily Mail but actual legislation.

That usually shuts them up.

Thanks 

My thoughts exactly - I have asked for the evidence but it has yet to be provided ;)   

If I hear anything one way or the other i will update this post.

Grade 1 or Grade 2 braille?
