Drylining case study and carding journey

This joint case study and draft carding journey by the Finishes and Interiors Sector (FIS) and CSCS Cards is designed to help businesses and individuals within the drylining sector better understand potential future requirements for achieving industry-defined competence.

The Building Safety Act 2022 places a legal duty on individuals to be competent for their roles, defined as the appropriate Skills, Knowledge, Experience and Behaviours (SKEB), with each sector responsible for defining competence for their occupations. The Drylining case study is intended as a working example for industry of how a sector can move from defining competence to designing a carding journey. It also shows the direction of travel for skilled card renewals more widely, to potentially include additional elements such as Fire Safety training and Continuing Professional Development (CPD).

In addition to the full case study and executive summary, an eight-point checklist is also available as an example for other sectors to follow when mapping their routes to competence and carding journey, with the appropriate CSCS Alliance scheme.
