RIBA TO LAUNCH ITS OWN REVIEW OF THE ARB

摘要

The RIBA is to fund its own independent review of the Architects Registration Board (ARB). The shock move is evidence of the institute's determination to overhaul the ARB, particularly its roles in education and regulation, such as policing professional indemnity insurance. It is unclear at this stage who the RIBA will ask to carry out the review, but it is understood the move is part of a long-term plan looking into the relationship between the bodies. A spokesman for the institute said: 'The idea of seeking an independent review of registration and regulation is at a very early stage of consideration. But such reviews are recognised as good practice in professions, to keep abreast of changing times and conditions.
