Completly fasical....we needed to register for CHAS by the company we do a lot of work for asked us to. So paid me money to somewhere in London, sent off all me forms etc of to someone in Wales.
After 4 weeks not heard anything so called the London number only to be told that it is out of there hands as its with an advisor.....not happy as i explained they had taken my money and that makes them responsible to locate my paperwork and to find out what has happened to it.
After a couple more weeks they contacted me to say the paperwork never arrived could i fill out all the forms and send them all of again, by this time i had enough and got a refund. It takes a couple of hours to fill all the forms out and collate all our own HS stuff, in order to send of in the post.
We never got asked for it, and still work for the same firm that originally asked for it.
I have done risk assesments when required and give new firms a copy of our own HS statement and this seems to satisfy them.
So whats the point of all these so called reconized body's coming up with all these ideas, i see it as just another way of extracting money out you
