To pull this back into shape again,
could I stand up and say that per ce, I have nothing against being an RO (If I met the criteria) if it was a standard that did not set minimum standards - but aimed for the highest standard and all the other things that have been mentioned in addition have timeframes for application. that is... pay, defined roles etc, (the things that Martin talks about for example)
Why Curators have to become ROs' .. not sure, unless they are carrying out contracting work that requires measurement of quality... and to be fair, they should be doing that anyway... OR ALGAO should be creating curatorial standards ( ROFL )
The IfA are currently the only standard there is for accreditation, other than being able to carry out the work (which the curatorial staff already know)
I am getting tied in knots myself in both agreeing and having issues in equal measure. hence the consultation... so a reply should/could be formulated that express support/concern for the various parts. I actually agree with 80% and have already set out the bits I worry about.
WE all want to see an end to minimum standards and county variation in the implementation... get rid of the cowboys... but are unsure about how to implement it.
hmmmm
