The precise details of those duties must also be meaningful as well as practicable. In particular, any training that is provided needs to be of a prescribed standard; otherwise, there is an obvious danger that organisations will provide something of limited or no value. The Government should also give further consideration to how voluntary run organisations might be impacted by the requirement to provide training and work with the sector to find a more suitable alternative to the current system of training outlined in the Draft Bill.
