AtW Advisers asking to see Level 6 qualifications of the communication professionals you use - NRCPD response and letter you can download

21 September 2014 (posted on NRCPD site 19 August 2014)

This information has been copied from the NRCPD site.  

"NRCPD has been told Access to Work advisers are asking to see the qualifications of communication professionals. In particular, they are asking for confirmation they have a level 6 qualification.

As well as being an unnecessary administrative burden, not all registrants have a level 6 qualification. That may be because they registered when a level 6 qualification wasn't required. Or it may be because a level 6 qualification isn't required for that register.

We have explained this to Access to Work. We have also said there is no need to check the qualifications of NRCPD registered communication professionals. Their fitness to practise is guaranteed by their registration.

If an adviser asks to see your qualifications or the qualifications of a communication professional you are supplying, please feel free to use this template letter."

Click to go to the NRCPD page.  There is more information there about this.  You can download the template letter below, or from their page.
