Andrew Chandler-Grevatt shares a passionate article about his experience of working towards
accreditation. He airs his frustration about the process and considers the significance that this may
have for trainees and the sector. This is followed by another personal account from James de Winter,
who keenly focuses on the impact that the CCF may have on secondary science trainees. He discusses
whether the uniqueness of each science discipline will be lost and questions the effect on a trainee’s
understanding of the way in which different subject teachers think and the subject-specific pedagogies
required.
