How are you going to make validation of the skills passport work? The model you sent us could just be filled in by the holder to make it look like they were an expert at everything!
Oh, and I'm all in favour of site training for people, but curators will have to start writing this into specs or no one around here would touch it for fear of being accused of undercutting (on top of all the other techniques currently in use....)
What about something akin to the cscs card? I don't mean in terms of the test, but rather in house training that can be signed off by the supervisor/po etc (countersigned if needed), and a card sent with an appropriate indication of responsibility that the person should have on site? I don't mean like the ifa, gradings, bit more detailed and specific to field work (I.e; can this guy plan, take levels, work on watching briefs by themselves etc). Cards could have grades etc on them.
Pie in the sky I suspect, as o doubt unit managers would pay out for the training scheme, even though it'd probably save money in the long run as with a glance at a card, they could tell if the person is trained for the position (bit more reliable than looking at a CV)
