Summary of review and consultation process |
The review of Pork Production qualifications commenced in August 2019. Expressions of interest were sought in August 2019 from industry stakeholders who had an interest in the sector that represented pork production. An External Working Group (EWG) made up of key industry stakeholders was formed to contribute to the review of qualifications. EWG members had the responsibility of contributing their expertise to qualification content and recommend updates as well as liaising with their networks over the duration of the review. The qualifications were updated based on feedback with the wider stakeholder consultation process carried out by External Working Group members. Agreement of qualification content was reached; stakeholders went back to their networks for affirmation attestations were gained from working group members and key stakeholders in April 2020. The EWG signed off on the final versions in April 2020. |
