A consultation is currently being carried out by the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) on a review of the Architects Registration Board (ARB), with a closing date of 30 May 2014.
The DCLG writes:
Government is interested in understanding people’s views on architect’s regulation to inform a completely independent review for Architect regulation and the Architects Registration Board.
This call for evidence sets out in simple terms the basic considerations which form the basis of the review process, and asks people to respond to specific questions as well as providing the opportunity to submit wider ranging comments and views.
The call for evidence questionnaire considers;
(1) The Case for Architects Regulation
(2) Different Models of Architects Regulation
(3) Evaluation of the existing regulatory functions and the Architects Registration board
