Just a little reminder to those of you who actually give a damn about the state of our industry at present, we need more evidence submitted to DCLG for their next commitee meeting. The deadline is December I believe.

As it stands, although some decent pieces have been written, the number of pieces written in the eyes of the scamsters amounts to just a small number of disgruntled electricians. As it stands, the evidence so far presented could not be seen to represent the industry as a whole.

If you care, write in. It doesn't need to be an essay, a couple of paragraphs would do. Remember, we need a volume of electricians that are all singing from the same hymn sheet to get involved, it is the only way we stand a change of seeing change.

Do you want to see a government run and mandatory scheme for qualified electrical contractors?
Are you tired of giving your hard earned money to scamsters such as the NIC?
Are you sick of having your potential customers nicked off you by 5WWs charging peanuts just to get an 'in' into the market?
Do you want to see the end of the Electrical Trainee?
Are you fed up of having your reputation tarred by those who don't know what they are talking about?
Do you want to see more effort made by the powers that be to increase awareness of electrical safety and the importance of using qualified electricians?
Do you want to see electrical accessories taken off the shelves at B&Q?
Do you want to see a consistent minimum standard of training across the board?

If your answer is yes to any of these questions then get off your backside and get involved!!!

It would be a much better deal if fully qualified sparks could be on the same deal as the gas safe boys and be assessed once every 5 years.

I'd look at it the other way and say they should be assessed every year, 5 years is a long time to hold a 'ticket' without any assessments as to your competency and on-going work! But it feeds into such a bigger picture for lots of different trades that can have fatal consequences!. Not to mention doctors who are only looked at every 5 years ......
