What consideration has the Welsh Government given to making refresher courses a mandatory part of the reassessment process when renewing a street works qualification every five years, as is the case in England and Scotland?

Welsh Government held a consultation on legislative changes to the training and accreditation requirements in 2019 including the introduction of 5 year reassessments. This work was put on hold due covid and then the availability of resources diverted to other Welsh Government priorities.
In September the Department for Transport employed consultants to review the current requirements in England. Welsh Government officials joined the working group with the DfT to assess any recommendations with a view to consolidating any new changes into a future review of these regulations - Street Works (Qualifications of Supervisors and Operatives) Regulations 1992. This would bring us back in line with England and Scotland. The consultants are due to report back in Spring 2024.
