Fascinating debate as I know it's been mentioned a few times but I didn't realise there was a consultation. I'll declare my interests here as I'm a MIfA and do sincerely hope that I could show my two kids how to half section a posthole with my eyes closed ;o) I have encountered some muppets in my career but their IfA status or lack thereof made no difference to the shade of muppetly-ness, it was inherent in the individual. I don't think it's isolated to the archaeological world either. I have encountered OFSTED registed childcare providers for my children who terrified me and made me wonder how on earth they passed muster - but that doesn't mean all OFSTED registered childcarers are useless at their jobs.
I haven't read all 10 pages of the thread here properly but have skimmed them.
I'm not sure how I feel about chartering and at the moment am keeping an open mind.
I don't know the ins and outs of how the Irish system works as I've always worked in the UK, but as far as I understand it there is much more of a 'closed shop'. As this seems to be a big and valid fear of the IfA gaining chartered status I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on the differences and similarities between the two setups?
