| Update 1014 31 October 2023 | Pilot railway(s) wanted for 'Competence Evidence Assurance' tool. Please email Danny. The idea is that competence evidence is looked at by a second person to check that it (exists and) is compliant. This is following a few instances where evidence has been found by railways, uploaded in to HOPS by their assessors, but being way off compliant - eg wrong forms used, not filled in correctly, not signed, not marked, etc, etc. There is a 'Competence Evidence Assurance' tab in Competence > Competence Management which shows info for all elements across the whole railway. There is also an 'Assurance' tab in each individual element showing info just for that element. Assurance activity on individual element awards can also be accessed from the 'History & Evidence' tab of individual element awards. When a new award is made it still takes effect straight away, and it is considered 'submitted for assurance'. Ie in no-man's land. Hopefully Assurance will take place as the evidence will either be found to be in good order, or not satisfactory. (If it's not satisfactory the system says it will send emails about it but it does not do this yet. It also says that if it remains unsatisfactory for 7 days the competence will be revoked, but it does not do this yet either. These will be completed once it's had a bit of a trial.) |
