Return to the bad old days.

I feel that the IFA are but one strand in the rope.An un-regulated industry functioning in a competative tendering environment is a recipe for disaster. The role of Curators/LPAs and consultants can often be seen to compound those disasters. Whilst I believe a holistic approach to these issues is required, I agree with 1man- join the IFA. I hope to join as an affiliate this month (funds forthcoming of course!). Having signed up to abide by rules and regs, thats exactly how I will then work.If we all took the same course, we as a workforce would not then accept the muppetry seen in the field on the basis that the decisions made by the incompetent breach said rules and regs.Instant policing.In an environment where increasing numbers of commercial enterprises choose profit over professionalism, maybe its time we policed the regs ourselves.Epsecially in the field-not only is this where the finite primary data either stands or falls, tiz where the full glare of "compromise" becomes apparent too.
