Prescribed Organisations are responsible for presenting CITB’s Levy Proposals to their levy‑paying members.

They gather feedback and then vote on whether to support the proposals on behalf of those members. Their decision contributes directly to whether the CITB Levy continues in its proposed form.

Clive Dickin, group CEO of NASC and CISRS, said the move was a formal acknowledgement of the organisation’s standing as the “principal trade body for the scaffolding and access sector”.

“This status means that NASC now has an official role in the CITB levy consensus process, giving our members a recognised and collective voice on how training funding is directed across the construction industry,” he added.

“It is a responsibility we take seriously and one we will fulfil with the same commitment to raising standards that underpins everything we do.

“For our members, this is further evidence that NASC’s influence extends well beyond guidance and auditing. We are at the table where decisions that shape the future of skills and training in this industry are made, and we will continue to ensure that the scaffolding and access sector is properly represented.”
