Improving historic environment practice - consultation

[Relictor]

This is the most important point in this section of the report. It is not all about volunteers taking jobs away from professionals; it’s also about professionals working with people who have already set up projects in parallel with the commercial sector. It’s happening so lets get more involved rather than trying to stem the tide.

No it is not just read the actual report an not the mission statement

3.1.7. calls for "Public participation alongside commercial organisations during and after development"
3.1.8. demands that?" historic environment advisors including a requirement for public participation in the brief"


The thrust of this section of the report appears to be about localism within the commercial sector, not just professionals helping out local groups. The other sections about increasing professional standards etc are fine, I see no problem here, although they do seem at odds with section 3.1 However I do see the potential for job loss



training volunteers .... that,s one job created per company (perhaps)


ten volunteers working on a site ...... that ten site assistants not required to do so
