Paraskeva said: “I am looking forward to leading the CSCS Board during this pivotal time for the industry. The board has a role to play in ensuring the principles which underpin the Building Safety Act are delivered.
“This is particularly important as in the future we anticipate individuals will be required to prove not just their qualifications and training, but also their ongoing development of skills and knowledge as defined by the industry Competence Steering Committee Working Groups, particularly Working Group 2 and their work on developing competence frameworks. All of which we envisage will be verified by the relevant card scheme displaying the CSCS logo and electronically checked on site using the CSCS Smart Check software.”
The November/December 2025 issue of Construction Management magazine is now available to read in digital format.
