Should There be a Licence to Plumb?
In the UK, gas engineers remain the only trade legally required to hold a licence, regulated under the Gas Safe Register. This expert panel—moderated by Kevin Wellman—examines how quality and accountability can be ensured across other trades, and whether licensing should become a broader requirement.
Drawing on international examples, the discussion will explore how licensing systems operate in other countries and what lessons can be learned. The panel will consider how a global approach to regulation could foster consistency, raise standards, and create synergy across industries—ultimately strengthening public trust and professional credibility.
