Recommendation 57
57
Standardise and embed essential practical components into ecology course design by April 2026.
Recommendation
We recommend that the Government, via Skills England, begins working with ecology qualification providers to standardise and embed essential practical components into ecology course design, by April 2026. This is to ensure that courses are geared towards modern policy demands and individuals are sufficiently equipped with the necessary skills for their professional practice. This should include training on the planning system for ecologists. (Recommendation, Paragraph 190) 95
