Dear all,
I have been away last week with members so didnt pick up on this until now. If you have a question for the team here do just drop us an email any time.
The qualification is likely – likely to be a requirement for any person acting as clerk for a Regulated Housing Provider. If your charity is not regulated – it will not affect you.
I have been working with MHCLG since the initiative was first introduced and I have a further meeting with the development team advising the regulator next week. We are requesting an exemption for all trustees acting in this role and for a “deminimus” scale of units – under 50 units as being exempt.
I will know more shortly but we are likely to have averted the need for trustees to gain the qualification and are fighting for the latter. To give you an idea of the challenge it was proposed within the Social Housing Bill (later Act) as -“with no exemptions …”
Work in progress. I also understand that the CIH courses are now full but there may be more courses coming online.
As you know we are working hard to provide an alternative for the need for our members to be regulated in the first place but that is a long term challenge.
Do let us know if you need more info.
Regards
Nick
