CISRS updates training contracts amid safety and financial challenges in UK construction.

The CISRS has released revised contracts for training centres after months of negotiations, addressing concerns from providers over accreditation terms and fees, with the scheme’s chair emphasizing the reforms' importance for safety and quality. Brendan Connolly, CEO of a scaffolding company, advocates for industry transformation through technology, training, and collaboration to improve safety and sustainability. Meanwhile, UK construction insolvencies rose in July 2025, signaling financial strain possibly due to economic pressures and project delays, underscoring the need for better financial planning across the sector.
