ECP Competence & Curriculum FrameworkThe Competence and Curriculum Framework defines what an ECP is and what training they require. At present (July 08) the title is not a restricted title so anyone can, technically, use it; this is being taken through the long process to help it become a restricted title.

Judicial System - If I were running the country

Submitted by Hugo_Minney on Mon, 05/27/2013 - 22:22

Scales of JusticeHow do we make the courts run more smoothly?  Cases take too long and are too expensive, mired in endless argument and counter-argument that are the hallmarks of our adversarial system.  What if we were to set time limits?  Would that work?

Well, let's try it.  Each side presents their best evidence, and if magistrate or jury isn't convinced, they can ask for more time from each side.  If it works for Cricket, that most venerable of British institutions, it should work for courts.  Who knows, they may even become spectator sports?

Minimum wage

Fantasy government - what would I do if I were in government?  Well how about reduce corporation tax, increase income tax, increase minimum wage and invest in job creation in the regions?  That would be a good start - create jobs where there are workers, then make sure that the right amount of tax is collected and at the same time reduce spend on benefits which are only used to increase profits of selfish organisations.

Would it work?  Have your say.

The Office

Every office has them - the tasks that have to be done that nobody likes doing.  Whether it's the audit, the wages, standard letters, whatever it is - someone has to do it and it feels like a waste of time and money.

Why should you care?

So you employ somebody, so why do you care about how tedious the task is? Well they are costing money, to do something that could be done far more effectively.

Evidence for service improvement

Many public service changes have little basis in evidence. Their success (or otherwise) does not appear to depend on how 'good' the policy itself is, but rather on how it has been implemented. This relies on staff attitudes and relationships. My research falls into a number of broad categories: finding out what is currently happening; what people think about it; and what people think it will mean.
