The MAA has been great in implementing paperwork, admin burdens and not much else.
All of the extra work has not been met by a commensurate increase in manning -criminal. If fact the (bow wave) of work (more like a tidal wave and subsequent 3 metre sea level rise) has had an adverse effect on front line ops.
In my experience, the JHC has royally shat upon the front line units. I have direct experience of the implementation, and it was very poorly coordinated......depending upon goodwill, holding officers and last minute ridiculous deadlines passed from above.
A lot to be answered for......the whole point of this was to reduce risk and make the middle managers take the correct steps to a safe outcome. In reality, it's been about "complying" and seeing to have done so.
If it was that important, much more time and funding would have been provided.
An utter shambles IMHO.
Nobody disagrees with the principle.....if it was done properly......no doing so.....well, isn't that how we got into this whole mess!
