External Accreditation and Moderation of HSE's Programme of Regulatory Training for New Inspectors
Authority: Health and Safety Executive (Central government)
What is being bought
Published requirement description"HSE recruits inspectors and technical specialists in England/Wales and Scotland to regulate health and safety over a wide range of industry sectors. Inspectors and specialists join HSE with a wide variety of backgrounds, qualifications and experience, HSE provides a comprehensive training programme to ensure competency in the broad range of skills and knowledge needed to perform their regulatory and enforcement functions. This is achieved through an accredited bespoke qualification at SCQF level 11 (post-graduate - equivalent to RQF level 7). Successfully attainment of the qualification is a contractual requirement of continued employment in HSE. The current contract is due to expire in March 2024.
HSE has recently published a new strategy which will lead to a new operating model. This is still under development and may lead to a restructure of the training programme and different qualification needs. Recruitment of B4 trainee inspectors and Specialist inspectors will continue during and beyond implementation of the new operating model. Until a new structure is in place, the training of new inspectors will continue as is. A new contract will be required post March 2024 for the independent accreditation of key milestones of the training programme."
