Land Condition

Join NCLOG for our 'Routes into Competency' Forum, a dedicated event exploring the different pathways available for contaminated land professionals to demonstrate competence and build confidence in professional practice.

The Forum is designed to help Contaminated Land Officers (CLOs) better understand the range of competency frameworks, qualifications and schemes available across the sector. It will also provide practical guidance on what to look for when reviewing reports and assessing the competence of consultants and practitioners.

Hear from leading organisations across the contaminated land profession, with confirmed speakers from the National Quality Mark Scheme (NQMS), Institution of Environmental Sciences (IES), Society of Brownfield Risk Assessment (SoBRA), and CL:AIRE, alongside a practitioner-led session delivered by fellow CLOs sharing their experiences and insights.

The event will conclude with interactive breakout discussions, providing an opportunity to explore the issues raised throughout the morning, share experiences with peers, and identify practical actions NCLOG can take to better support CLOs in developing, evidencing and maintaining professional competency.

Whether you're early in your contaminated land career or an experienced practitioner, this Forum offers a valuable opportunity to learn from sector leaders, exchange experiences with peers, and help shape how NCLOG supports competency across the profession.

Speaker details coming soon.
