Building standards verification service - workforce strategy: closure report
The workforce strategy was designed to be delivered over three years from October 2020 and that period has now ended. This formal closure report highlights the progress achieved and details the work that will continue.
2.0 Strategy Delivery
2.1 Themes and Commitments
The strategy was based around four themes each with supporting national and local commitments for delivering change.
The national and local commitments related to four key themes:
- A profession for everyone
- A professional framework
- A sustainable workforce
- A skilled workforce
The national commitments were opportunities for Building Standards Division to bring the influence of Scottish Government to the delivery of outcomes. The local commitments were hands-on activities for local authorities to lead change across the workforce, to embed improvements arising from the strategy for the long term.
2.2 Five Core Projects
Delivery of actions contributed to the achievement of local and national commitments. The outcomes delivered crossed over different themes and commitments. Due to the synergies across the themes, it was sensible to group all actions in a practical way into five core projects. This was done to support effective programme management and frequent reporting of progress to verifiers.
- Implementing the Competency Assessment System
- Promoting the Profession
- Implementing a Professional Framework
- Developing Vocational Pathways
