notice that some councils mention working at hight regs. local council h&s is looking to see if the council has a responsability to make sure you are working in accordence with the h&s as the isuing council.these guys dont you just love them 
would love to see them try this. that could open one almighty can of worms. you could just turn around and say joiners work witht public are they compliant with H&S and how come they are not licensed etc.
SLWCN must feel like they are hitting a brick wall each day. doug is trying his best to make things better but a lot of work required.
i'm sure the courts can fine ye up to 2k if you dont have a licence and take you to court.
