Standard and guidance for archaeological advice by historic environment services

[Unitof1]

Thanks Mr Brody I look forward to trying to work out the vat implications of was it a grant presumably after the horse has bolted

the source for the funding is the Consultation letter saying that

Submitted by Kathryn Whittington on Monday 16 January 2012

IfA and ALGAO, with funding from English Heritage, Historic Scotland
and Cadw, are developing an IfA Standard and guidance to cover the role
of providing archaeological advice primarily, but not exclusively, through local authority historic environment services.

They (must be the members of the ifa but also some self-appointed grope called algao) expect the consultation done by 17 February (so is that funding for one month consultation and then some rearagment of the draft wording for another month) and the acceptance of the so called standard at some obscure extraordinary meeting-Is that the meeting at oxford by 18-20thApril?.

So what happens if this contract is unsucessful do they get their monies back?

I don’t know if the people from the organizations who funded the consultation and who presumably drafted the standard will be at the meeting although they are probably funding the meeting as well.

Apparently the great theme of the meeting is would you Adam and Eve itis



The2012 debate is entitled: What is the future for Local Planning Authorities andarchaeology?



WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

The sessions and workshops are relevant to all those involved in the historic environment.

The great cba towergate association goes on

Setting up a new business? A guide to business start-ups andgetting registered

– David Cawdeary and Tariq Mian, Towergate and Kirsten Collins,IfA

In recent months the sector has seen an increase in the set up of small businesses and a rise in applications from companies wishing to become Registered Organisations with the IfA. This workshop training session, run jointly by Towergate Insurance and IfA, o_ers delegates a chance to learn the best route to follow for starting up any business and some practical advice on getting registered. The session includes a guide to the importance of risk management and insurance, hearing from specialist insurers with 12 yrs experience of working with archaeologists in how these factors contribute to the success of any business. In addition, you will hear from the directors and senior management of currently Registered Organisations about the process and bene_ts of IfA registration, and have the opportunity to test-drive your business through the registration process with IfA Standards Compliance Manager, Kirsten Collins.

This is the old joke that the council says that you should have public indemnity insurance to work on somebodies site.

Anyway lost the plot
I cant findout when the great extraordinary meeting to rubber stamp the joke standard will be exactly. Will the scots and the welsh heritage civil servants be there to help the English heritage civil servants get the wonderful standard approved. Get your postal vote in. Is it first past the post, or proportional waste of time. Cant wait, have already up my prices by 200% but still can do the curators jobs for free.
