The IHBC will soon launch a call to register \u2018Interest\u2019 in our new network – \u2018Leaders in Learning for Practice\u2019 \u2013 aimed at service leads in built and historic environment conservation-led learning programmes and courses etc.<\/em>, with resources allocated, advocacy a priority, and plans to be shaped by Network members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

IHBC Director Se\u00e1n O\u2019Reilly said: \u2018This initiative follows on from the IHBC\u2019s commitment to \u2018Integrate<\/a>\u2019 learning in those areas of conservation most relevant to our Parliamentary \u20185 Commitments to Help Heritage Skills in Conservation<\/a>\u2026\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are now laying the foundations by developing a new network \u2013 open, but targeting conservation outcomes; and free, but with a secretariat funded by us \u2013 to support those leaders of relevant learning, training and education programmes who want to help us deliver on our \u2018Commitments\u2019 to built and historic environment conservation practice and outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Network members will also enjoy the benefits that we\u2019ll be offering in return for that support.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Research underpinning our Commitments \u2013 seen HERE<\/a> – confirmed there\u2019s a real need for a proactive, resourced network to advocate, advise and where possible help these pressured services.  This cross-sector, interdisciplinary and inclusive network will be well placed to initiate that wide-reaching support\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Many will know that already the IHBC helps a small section of this conservation community \u2013 from providers of CPD<\/a> to post-graduate and related conservation courses<\/a>.  However even this wide embrace represents only a small part of the community of players that we know need more support and integration.  This planned Network will mark a huge step forward for all.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Pendlebury<\/a>, IHBC\u2019s Consultant supporting the new network, said: \u2018Ongoing learning is critical for those practicing in the historic environment sector, whether through formally structured CPD or otherwise. The IHBC\u2019s 5th Commitment from its Parliamentary\/ Briefing in November 2025 is to help to \u2018Integrate\u2019 the diverse threads of skills, learning and experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018For this, we agreed to \u2018Establish and host a new network, open and free, to support service leads delivering conservation- related learning, training and education\u2026 from craft to retrofit.\u2019 We will soon launch a full call for expressions of interest from those interested in engaging with a \u2018Leaders in Learning for Practice Network\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
