Episode 28 – Improving competency standards with Jon Vanstone, Gill Hancock and Faye Burnett.
In this edition, we take a closer look at competence, an issue that’s been under scrutiny since the Grenfell tragedy and the advent of the Building Safety Act. Competence frameworks are being set up, but how will they make a difference to the worker on a building site? Construction News Features Editor, Matt Davies, is joined by those at the centre of improving competence standards in the construction industry: Jon Vanstone, chair of the Industry Competence Committee (ICC), Gill Hancock, co-chair of the Industry Competence Steering Group (ICSG) and Faye Burnett, programme director of Sector-Led Group 10 (SLG-10), a super-sector group within the ICSG, which is creating the competency frameworks for installation and maintenance roles.
