Competent Person
HR Compliance for Your Business
While appointing a dedicated HR professional is not a legal requirement, businesses must ensure that HR responsibilities are managed effectively. This involves having someone with the necessary skills, knowledge, training, and experience to handle HR matters, including compliance with employment laws and regulations. This role can be fulfilled by someone within the business, provided they are equipped to identify and address HR needs, implement best practices, and keep the business informed of any legal or regulatory changes that may impact operations.
Cost Effective
Many businesses do not feel their needs warrant a full time in house person, and so it can make sense to utilise a consultant to provide the coverage level they require. If you take our Competent Person retainer service, we include support hours, Our minimum package provides 22 hours support via telephone, email, remotely, or onsite (including a full gap analysis for one day) for just £150 + VAT per month and its only a 12 month contract. If more cover is required this can be added. Once we have determined the perfect retainer size for you, payments are split across 12 months ensuring you always know where you are. Where more cover is needed, we simply add on days and hours to suit your needs and spread the cost across your payments.
​
Competent Person certification should never be a 'tick box' exercise and for that reason, we need to demonstrate we have an understanding of your business, and that you can ask for advice and support where required.
​
Our support can be tailored to your needs and there's certainly no requirement from us to have a set package of support. We don't make a fee for building the right contract, it isn't classed as a bespoke service. However, many contact us asking if, for ease, we have a guideline to help, and a way of purchasing it quickly and simply.
Therefore we created our minimum Competent Person Package. Please note the cover and support you get is still bespoke to your needs. You also have the option to build your own package which gives you the flexibility of adding additional support to a level that suits you.

Already have a competent person?
Even if you already have a Competent Person, we can offer an external support function and an independent set of eyes can really help to support an in house HR team in their goals. You drive exactly what you wish us to be involved in, whether it be a general attendance and approach, or working on a specific project.
