IR35 - training - ISO standards

[BlueSharp]

Part of the clients policies requires contractors to undergo training. This is little more than reviewing policy documents that detail internal procedures, it's an ISO certification requirement for the medical device industry certification.

Any advise from those who have had to do this before? From my point of view it prevents myCO from having to obtain ISO certification but from an IR35 point of view it could be a red mark. I'm thinking of redoing a working practices review with this new element in it and getting it reviewed. I have a very strong MOO, SUB & D&C but obviously see this as a threat to D&C.

I don't see this as having any effect on IR35 at all.

Does this certificate require you to be able to recognise when to use advise and when to use advice?

when I was involved in the process of seeking ISO9000 accreditation for a product, there were some interesting revelations which were surprising. The process may have changed by now. However, ISO9000 accreditation was given if you advised the governing body that you could strictly adhere to a process that you had devised. Let me illustrate the point.

If your process required that you answered the phone within 3 rings and you always achieved this, then you would receive ISO9000 accreditation. However, if your process required that you answered the phone within 5 rings and you always achieved this, your process would also receive accreditation. Some wag then pointed out that if your process required you to never answer the phone (HMRC?) and you never did, your process would also receive accreditation.

So, ISO accreditation wasn't a measure of the quality of your process, it was a measure of how well you adhered to any process that you employed when running your business.

Spoke to the right people who also confirmed its not an issue. I think I just got my knickers in a twist at the mention of the word training. Happy to take the gig but that will change if all of a sudden what was outside is now inside ir35.

People that don't know much about IR35 often do. :

Ah, but are they already running around like a headless chicken, or is this a new role?
