Good day Dr Wardle.Not sure if that would have an effect as I`m informed that said unit does`nt actually have to tender for these contracts competatively.As an aside-my apologies to all.I have only yesterday returned to civilisation and as such, will be writing formal complaints to the IFA today.Bit late I know-but hey-circuit diggin and all that...I am still of the view that the IFA have been very helpful (to me) as has Mr Hosty on this issue.The IFA promptly sent me the appropriate standards/guidelines etc and paperwork with which to enter formal complaints.Much applause to those involved.However.....I would have expected more of a tenacious response from the IFA on the misuse of the RAO Kitemark issue-those of you out there that function under the auspices of the RAO accolade should rightly be jumping up and down over this.The actions of the unit in question can only have served as a dilution of what is seen as a stamp of professionalism and competence.Their actions(intentional or otherwise) have made a mockery of the IFA and may indeed have given potential future clients a very tarnished view of a validation system that many other professional and reputable units operate under.
