Thanks to all for their input on here.I think that we agree that curators are hideously underfunded/resourced and undervalued.This in itself is an open admission that monitoring of standards has been, and still is, virtually impossible to carry out nationwide to an acceptable standard. How do we change this? Can we expect large-scale agreements where curators maintain an open line of communication with coal-face workers across the industry? If no-why not? What do we do about this? The Curators work on behalf of the public.If they are not allowed to do their job properly, the public might just get the idea that all this is just a government pantomime...
