\"Architect<\/div>\n

The Architects Registration Board<\/a> has set out a five-year strategy intended to address safety, competence and culture in the UK<\/a>‘s architecture industry.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the Architects Registration Board<\/a> (ARB), the strategy<\/a> is focused on “improving safety, strengthening professional competence and improving workplace culture among architects in the UK”.<\/p>\n

It said this builds on reforms it has introduced over the last five years and sets out examples where it has “an opportunity to make further positive change”.<\/p>\n

ARB hopes to improve accountability<\/strong><\/p>\n

By 2030, ARB said it hopes to improve accountability and increase public confidence in architects by evaluating the impact of its continuing professional development (CPD) scheme, addressing discrimination and sexual misconduct in the sector, and improving the process of dealing with those who do not meet required standards.<\/p>\n

It comes as RIBA\u00a0president Chris Williamson terminated his registration with ARB<\/a> to highlight the “absurdity of the current regulatory framework” of ARB, which only regulates the protected title “architect” and the competence of those on its register.<\/p>\n
