IHBC trustees and CPPP lead author Dave Chetwyn said: \u2018Working with historic places and buildings involves a diverse and complex range of specialist skills, across different professional disciplines.\u00a0 It is essential to employ professional teams from the necessary disciplines, with historic and built environment expertise.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018As the \u2018Principles\u2019 <\/em>statement recognises international, national and devolved UK legislation, policy and statements, and how they operate in the real world, it puts practice standards at the heart of how we deliver successful conservation outcomes\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u2018Now, some five years later, we are ready to update and enhance the document, we look forward to hearing thoughts from all users and stakeholders.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2026 We want it to have as much impact on practice standards as possible, and across all specialist interests and disciplines\u2026<\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n

IHBC Director Se\u00e1n O\u2019Reilly said: \u2018With our #IHBC25 anniversary we\u2019re perfectly placed to review this core practice standard for Conservation Professionals.\u00a0 We want it to have as much impact on practice standards as possible, and across all specialist interests and disciplines, so please do let us know what you think<\/p>\n

This guide provides an overview of built and historic environment practice for conservation professionals across the United Kingdom. It has been developed to raise awareness of the skills and specialisms necessary to properly manage, conserve and develop historic places and buildings. It recognises international, national and devolved UK legislation, policy and statements, and how they operate in practice\u2026 (CPPP: Introduction)<\/p>\n

The scope of professional practice for conserving historic places and buildings is wide. The following list of activities is intended as an illustration of some of the common areas of practice. Not all of these activities will be within the primary skill sets of all practitioners. Accreditation in a primary area of practice should guide clients and employers on the lead skills of the practitioner required (such as architecture, planning, surveying, archaeology, engineering and other disciplines)\u2026 (CPPP: S.1.1)<\/p>\n

A fundamental part of practice for the conservation professional is to identify the various values of heritage places and buildings, especially in the context of change, as this forms the basis for offering advice and making judgments\u2026 (CPPP: S.2)<\/p>\n

\u2026 challenge for heritage professionals is to conserve cultural values whilst allowing places and buildings to adapt\u2026<\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n

Conservation practice involves managing and maintaining places and buildings, and planning for their future. Heritage has cultural values associated with the past, but is also part of the infrastructure of modern society and a fundamental resource that underpins its sustainable future. Therefore, heritage is an economic resource in the present, with social, economic and environmental values. The challenge for heritage professionals is to conserve cultural values whilst allowing places and buildings to adapt where appropriate or necessary, so that they remain fit for purpose, accommodating society\u2019s changing needs and demands.
