2026 marks a pivotal year for the NFRC Competent Person Scheme as we embark on year one of an ambitious three-year strategy that will strengthen compliance, improve competency assurance and lay the foundations for sustainable and long-term growth.

In our series of articles, our Technical Compliance Manager, Trevor Atkinson, will highlight some of the most common technical non-compliances identified during inspections and provide practical guidance to help you get it right first time.
