Further going back to the initial post it is worth the time to download and read the document being refered to. Whilst all of the document is worth reading chapters, 4, 6 and 7 should be fully understood - chapter 4 unregulated workers para 4.3 and 4.4 are key in these the need for assurance of workforce competancy is stated along with the enablement of of a system of assured volentary registration for groups not currently subject to statutory professional regulation.
So by default it will be come a reguire to be registered as it the simplist way for an employer to assure themselves that youa re competant is to ask for a copy of your volentary reg certificate.
So for the VRCT a death knell, its actually quite the reverse. The great advantage of volentary registration is that you don't need what has been the biggest stumbling block to date and the greatest slowing down in the process a statement in law i.e. statute.
There is therefore I hope now a real prospect of rapid forward advancement.
