CITB apologises for ‘short notice’ ahead of funding and grant cuts

Commenting on the changes, Tim Balcon, CITB’s chief executive, said: “First and foremost, we want to apologise for the short notice for some of these changes. This was done to avoid surge claiming that will put our ability to support employers at risk. We had planned to transition our funding model gradually, giving employers time to adjust. The pace of demand growth means we need to act faster than we intended – and faster than we would have liked.
