25 June 2025 (Thursday) - UKAS Update

The nice people at UKAS sent their update today. When asked about how to do CPD I always suggest that you sign up for absolutely every work-related mailing list you can find. Every day I get at least half a dozen emails from these mailing lists. Most of them don’t make the cut (as they aren’t actually very relevant to me) but I *always* read the UKAS one, and *always* mention it on here.
Take the current update… you can read it by clicking here. Do read it… and if you understand it, please explain it to me. It seems to say a lot without saying anything. When I read this sort of thing I’m reminded of a colleague who always got his way at management meetings. No matter what the subject under discussion he would maintain that his way was the only way because of MHRA requirements. And because no one knew (let alone understood) what an MHRA requirement was, he went unchallenged.
 
Don’t get me wrong – I’m not saying that the UKAS regulations are a load of tripe. I’m just saying that if they were written in English rather than gibberish, more people would understand them. And if people understood them, people might appreciate them rather then resent them…
