Should Consultants Be Licensed? Should Their reports Be Placed in the Public Domain?

[Carl Clifford <>]

Dear All,

With consultants being used more and more to provide data to support  
enterprises that affect the environment and the public. There seems to  
be no form of regulation to superintend their work and qualifications.  
As most other professions and trades (even tanning salon operators}   
are required to have some minimum level of qualification and  
professional standards, should not consultants also be subject to the  
same?
Reports produced for a consultants' client regularly affect large  
portions of the populace, should they not be placed on a public  
register for public consultation and future reference?
Cheers,

Carl Clifford
