CITB consensus process delayed until 2025

Consensus is a process that allows the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) to share its three-year Levy Proposals with levy paying employers and seek their views. Due to take place between February and April 2024, this has now been delayed until 2025 after the announcement of a scheduled review into the CITB by the Department for Education (DfE).

CITB has taken the decision to submit proposals for a one-year Order to raise levy income in 2025. Approval from the Secretary of State and ultimately from Parliament is necessary to make the order. However, the decision to propose a one-year Order means that Consensus will be delayed until early 2025. This is to allow recommendations that come out of the on-going CITB Industrial Training Board Review, (with findings expected to be reported in January 2024), to be taken into consideration for the next Levy Proposals for a three-year Levy Order, which will now start in 2026.
