\"Caring_websitehomepage\"<\/a>The IHBC has launched its \u2018Caring for your home\u2019 website at its 2016 School, offering an accessible guide to anyone seeking help in looking after their home; and while there\u2019s still work to be done on the resource \u2013 as a Beta test site \u2013 there\u2019s lots of help on offer there already.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

IHBC\u2019s Vice Chair Kathy Davies said: \u2018This is set to be a very useful new resource for home-owners and residents.\u00a0 I\u2019m delighted that the IHBC, with initiatives like this site, is making real contributions to the widest constituencies of heritage users.\u00a0 It is the perfect way for the IHBC to help \u2018join the dots\u2019 between all the players that shape the future of our heritage\u2019.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

IHBC\u2019s Technical Committee, led by Janice Gooch, helped shaped the distinctive style of this resource.\u00a0 Janice said: \u2018This is a modern day resource that replaces the much respected publication of \u2018Stitch in Time\u2019, which we produced with the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB).\u00a0 This website sets out the core principles and forms a strong starting point for further development and progression, like any good conservation document.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Though aimed at the general householder, it is a great resource for anyone, professionals included.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Also, it will be developed further with the help of IHBC members and colleagues, but always remembering the key audience: the general public. This is an important step from the IHBC to provide the public with independent free guidance written by heritage professionals.\u2019\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

IHBC Director Se\u00e1n O\u2019Reilly said: \u2018The \u2018Caring for your home\u2019 web resource retains the classic Hellman cartoons from the much revered \u2018Stitch in time\u2019, but there\u2019s a very different character.\u00a0 With this digital platform we\u2019ll be able to reach many more people who need access to basic guidance on how best to look after their homes.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018And of course many of the lessons and tips apply equally to properties of very different types \u2013 not least the number one priority, needing to take care of them\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u2018The website is built using a \u2018mobile first\u2019 approach, so you can take the content along with you too, once you\u2019ve a signal.\u00a0 But do also remember that you should always put health and safety first, and don\u2019t use it when or where it might lead to an accident!\u2019\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
