TOP STORY🗞️ A new requirement for offshore wind developers to pay for skills training in their local communities has been announced.

UPDATE | Construction Levy rates proposed to remain the same for 2026-29. Confirmed by the CITB Board last week, the final proposals are that the Levy is to retain rates at: PAYE: 0.35% Net paid (Taxable) CIS Sub-contractors: 1.25%. Increase the Levy Exemption and Reduction Thresholds to £150,000 and £500,000. Meaning if your employee payroll and Net paid (taxable) CIS subcontractors combined is less than £150,000 you will not pay a Levy. If you are between £150,000 and £499,999 you will receive an automatic reduction of 50%. This approach was supported by a majority of employers at a recent consultation and means we will continue to support our smallest employers, so the Levy delivers for all. These results have now been submitted to the Department for Education to ratify. Once ratified a new Levy Order will be raised. Tim Balcon, CEO CITB, said: 💬 “Thank you to all employers who took part in the Consensus process. This result is an improvement on the Consensus 2021 result and means we can focus on delivering our Strategic Plan, designed around employers’ priorities and responds to the needs of the construction industry.” Find out more about Consensus 2025 👇 bit.ly/4g7kLV0 --- DIWEDDARIAD | Cynigir y bydd cyfraddau’r Lefi Adeiladu yn aros yr un fath ar gyfer 2026-29. Cadarnhawyd gan Fwrdd CITB yr wythnos diwethaf, y cynigion terfynol yw bod y Lefi i gadw cyfraddau ar: TWE: 0.35% Is-gontractwyr CIS a dalwyd yn net (Trethadwy): 1.25%. Cynyddu'r Trothwyon Esemptiad a Gostyngiad Lefi i £150,000 a £500,000. Sy'n golygu os yw eich cyflogres cyflogai ac isgontractwyr CIS (trethadwy) net a dalwyd gyda'i gilydd yn llai na £150,000, ni fyddwch yn talu Lefi. Os ydych rhwng £150,000 a £499,999 byddwch yn derbyn gostyngiad awtomatig o 50%. Cefnogwyd y dull hwn gan fwyafrif o gyflogwyr mewn ymgynghoriad diweddar ac mae’n golygu y byddwn yn parhau i gefnogi ein cyflogwyr lleiaf, felly mae’r Lefi yn cyflawni i bawb. Mae'r canlyniadau hyn bellach wedi'u cyflwyno i'r Adran Addysg (DoE) i'w cadarnhau. Unwaith y bydd wedi'i gadarnhau, bydd Gorchymyn Lefi newydd yn cael ei godi. Dywedodd Tim Balcon, Prif Weithredwr CITB: 💬 “Diolch i’r holl gyflogwyr a gymerodd ran yn y broses Consensws. Mae’r canlyniad hwn yn welliant ar ganlyniad Consensws 2021 ac yn golygu y gallwn ganolbwyntio ar gyflawni ein Cynllun Strategol, sydd wedi’i gynllunio o amgylch blaenoriaethau cyflogwyr ac yn ymateb i anghenion y diwydiant adeiladu.” Darganfyddwch mwy am Consensws 2025 👇 bit.ly/4dkGwR5

It's Mental Health Awareness Week, and we’re shining a spotlight on @WeAreLHCharity as they discuss something that often hides in plain sight - loneliness. Construction work can be fast paced, physically demanding, and unpredictable. But beneath the hustle, many workers face long hours, isolation, and pressure that can leave them feeling alone - even when surrounded by people.
