I'm sorry, I didn't think that my comments were unnecessary or unhelpful. I
was merely trying to point out that Records Management is growing at such a
rate, and facing so many different issues, that it may be outgrowing its
traditional training processes.
In all of this, the main point of Sarah Emmerson's email seems to have been
lost. So here's 3 reasons I can think of why RM accreditation could be a
good thing:
1. Provide support and professional skills for those new to RM.
2. Ensure consistent professional standards.
3. Raise the status of RM amongst employers.
PS As a member of the Society of Archivists I hold the whole membership
(including myself) to blame for the heavy weather we've managed to make of
CPD.
