Good point well made. As an example of the benefits of this, I have just returned from doing an audit at a small company. Several of the questions we asked were H&S based.

They didn't have an internal Safety Manager, but a receptionist/secretary/admin clerk managed their H&S Plan & activities.
We asked about her expertise in this area & she said she was in the process of starting her NEBOSH training. We agreed this would benefit her & the company, and it assists us as clients to have someone full time with this qualification.

Bad times indeed. All the best over there in Hull, Black and white or Red and white..... I was in same situation in the early 80's. Redundant 3 times in 2 years. Worst feeling in the world.

I work for a recruitment agency, Prestige Recruitment and if you are looking for work, we specialize in Industrial,Labouring/Warehouse and Driving jobs

If you're interested we're located down bowlalley lane opposite courts bar

If 'Joetwizzy' is one of 90 to loose their jobs then he should speak to his local Jobcentre and ask if he can access the 'Rapid response fund' That number of people will be treated as a mass redundancy situation. If he wants to retrain and knows the costs of courses etc., then he might get help with the cost of re-training.

Sorry 'Joet' just re-read your post, ( you meant 90 days consultation) Anyway still ask what help there is.

Just to say

we've just got someone £1000 towards a complete forklift package, if you are eligable (HU1 to HU9) and have been made redundant after october 2008

please ring pm me and i'll assist you to apply for this training grant

How much is a course like that in full? Dont want to seem miserable but if the course is 5k and youve got them 1k towards it im pretty sure most people wouldnt be able to do it still.

There is nothing to pay, the full Forklift Package was funded.

LAST CHANCE I HAVE 3-6 MORE APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE FOR THIS FUNDING ON TUESDAY 31ST MARCH 2009 @ 3PM AND THEN THE FUNDING RUNS OUT

i have managed to gain funding for

CPCS Dumper Truck Licence's

CSCS Card. PASMA Scaffolding, Forklift Package inc Cherry Pickers and Scissor Lift, Telescopic and Rough Terrain

HGV

NEBOSH (Starts April)

If you live HU1 to HU9 and was made redundant afer October the 1st please PM me for my contact number.

Please don't think I'm being condescending here...

I have been made redundant a couple of times. It can be the worst thing or a great opportunity. Which one can be largely down to how you approach it, but it really is a chance to re-assess the direction of your life and take on a new challenge. But NEVER hand over money to an employment agency. If they ask you for money, they are not a reputable and responsible employment agency and are just after your redundancy pay-out.

The re-training on offer on this thread is a great opportunity - imho.

Good luck to all who are in this position, I don't envy you but just try to turn it into something good if you can.
