this isnt strictly true, you would actually be reported to CORGI.. the only reason i personally would report back to the HSE (RIDDOR is the form you fill out) is if the work, be it by someone who was qualified or not is deemed unsafe, and as such is a danger to people. i.e someone who is completly uncompetent.

I have actually heard of people working illegally being caught by CORGI and just been given the chance to change there ways and join up to CORGI...
