Letter: A local difficulty
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: It is unfortunate that Dale Campbell-Savours, the MP who raised in the House of Commons the question of the issue of certificates of vocational competence from our Business Centre at Whitehaven, did not contact our company first (report, 15 April).
Had he done so, he would have found that the company has been open and honest with all concerned since discovering impropriety by former members of staff at one of its 65 locations in January. We have already contacted the Department of Employment and the National Audit Office. The police have been made aware of the situation, and we have worked closely with our colleagues in the Cumbria Training and Enterprise Council to resolve this local difficulty.
Yours sincerely,
HUGH PITMAN
Chairman and Chief Executive
