To support Approved Training Centres (ATC) Safety Training Awards (STA) have streamlined the process of recording staff records.

STA have created a ‘Staff Personal Statement and CPD Record’ document. This document allows tutors, assessors and IQAs to detail their qualifications, experience and any relevant CPDs all in one document.

Tutors, assessors and IQAs should complete the document, and to make it more manageable, as the information within the document is personal to them, tutors, assessors and IQA’s can complete and save a master copy of the document and share amongst the ATC’s they are working for.

STA understand, due to the nature of the sector, that many tutors, assessor and IQAs work for multiple ATCs and often have to provide the same information, in different formats, to all these ATCs. Having one document which can be updated by the individual as they undertake more training, will help reduce the burden on tutors, assessor and IQAs and also ATCs.

By having all information completed by the individual in one document, this means ATCs no longer need to retain CV’s and CPD’s for all ATC staff. The Staff Personal Statement and CPD Record document replace this whilst evidencing their occupational competence and experience, helping ATCs maintain their staff records for quality assurance purposes. ATC co-ordinators may also share this document with their staff.

STA recommends ATC’s review the staff records annually and update where necessary. Utilising the Staff Personal Statement and CPD Record document, will support the ATC in maintaining compliance with STA and regulatory requirements.
