In this episode of The Big Green Q&A, host Dan Brown, Strategic Relationship Manager for GQA Qualifications chats about second chances with Simon Smith, External Quality Assessor for GQA Qualifications, Amina Bodhania, Head of Partnerships and Business Improvement at Novus - Foundations for Change and Paul Walmsley, Intervention Specialist & Child Criminal Exploitation Consultant at Nobody Left Behind.
They explore the disconnect that some students experience with the school system, the reasons behind this, and the lure of bad influencers that can lead them into crime.
Additionally, they scrutinize the journey of individuals serving sentences in prisons, draw parallels between learning, social disconnection, and the role of education in rehabilitation. Education becomes a crucial aspect in preparing those leaving prison for swift job acquisition, ultimately reducing the risk of reoffending.
They highlight success stories—individuals they have successfully reached, who have transformed adversity into positivity, cultivating fulfilling careers that bring positive change and stability into their lives.

Neville Grunwald of Wates Group, Darren Burford of ALUK and Graham Hackley of Century Facades join Dan Brown and Martin Sadler of GQA Qualifications to discuss the necessary culture change for high-rise, high-risk envelope contracting in the shadow of the Grenfell Tragedy and The Building Safety Act.
In Part 3, the panel explore the ease and frequency which specifications change is invited in current envelope contracting but ask, will the introduction of the Golden Thread of information and the process of design validation and vetting through the Gateway framework make a specification change less inviting to Duty Holders through exposed risk to programme and will the passage of product specification and design through the Gateways be secured by those with their organisational, individual and product competency measures in place? To conclude the Raising The Bar series, the panel answer questions from the industry.

Neville Grunwald of Wates Group, Darren Burford of ALUK and Graham Hackley of Century Facades join Dan Brown and Martin Sadler of GQA Qualifications to discuss the necessary culture change for high-rise, high-risk envelope contracting in the shadow of the Grenfell Tragedy and The Building Safety Act.
Using sector statistics and experience in façade-contracting, this animated discussion explores the role of accredited training and appropriate qualifications for individuals, the responsibilities of construction product manufacturers, considers the additional demands of specialist envelope subcontractors on their supply chain, and how the demands and penalties enabled through the Building Safety Act will bring a new dawn to the awarding of HRB contracts by principal contractors.
In Part 2, the panel reflect on whether the Grenfell Tragedy in itself was enough to steer the construction industry on the path to reform and referring to Dame Judith Hackett, thoughts turn to whom should be driving the culture change in construction and why the construction industry may still be dragging their heels with a sense of waiting to be told what to do despite the ascension of the Building Safety Bill into law.
The panel turn to retrospective soul searching and delves to the very heart of the topic of Raising The Bar; determining individual competency through appropriate levels of academia and product application, spotting those who masquerade with experience, and the self-reflecting, honest behaviours which uphold our social responsibility for life safety.

In this episode, Dan Brown asks, ‘how prepared are you to raise the bar on building safety’?
Part 1 – Referring to the Construction Products Association’s sector survey as a base-line, the panel are not shocked to hear some of the statistics in relation to product training and site support and they reflect on the responsibilities product manufacturers should have for the correct application of their products on buildings through their partners.
The panel discuss whether those product manufacturers who take their training responsibilities seriously will take the commercial advantage within the new regulatory Gateway framework of The Building Safety Act, and we hear our first warnings from the panel about the devastating repercussions of awarding contracts to incompetent sub-contractors incapable of validating their product, skills, knowledge and behavioural competency and the risk it poses to them personally through the penalty-enabling powers of the Building Safety Act!
