Hi Paul
I can understand your concern. I have kept the forum updated as far as I can (below from a couple of weeks ago) but there may be questions that are not obvious so do feel free to contact me or Julian directly at TAA.
Regards
Nick
Dear all,
Yesterday I got an answer to part of our question. The MHCLG team have been seeking guidance from the new Gov.
What we know is: The qualification requirement as proposed would only affect Registered Providers.
The current Gov is reviewing the feedback from the MHCLG team
I have continued to make the case that the impact of this qualification will be disproportionate on small charities particularly and they should be exempt at a de minimis number of dwellings.
I will continue to put pressure on ministers to review their proposal as it would place an unreasonable requirement on staff and trustees of small charities.
The trouble is that once Registered, ministers see all as one with the huge Housing Associations. We are working to amend that view. Do let me know if you have any further questions on this and I will let you know as soon as I hear anything further. Nick
