ARB is currently consulting on draft guidance for Professional Indemnity Insurance. This guidance has been developed to support architects in complying with Standard 4 of the new Architects Code: architects must carry out their work effectively, exercising skill and diligence. This guidance is being consulted on alongside guidance for Dealing with Complaints and Terms of Engagement. Subject to the outcome of the consultation, this guidance will be finalised and published alongside the new Code this summer, and further draft guidance will be consulted on later this year.

On Friday ARB visited Birmingham City University to speak to students about our work and the role we play in maintaining standards within the architects profession. Visits such as these give us the opportunity to provide insights into our regulatory responsibilities first-hand, and to respond to questions from those seeking to go on and join the Register of Architects directly.

With International Women's Day falling on a Saturday this year, we are choosing to mark the occasion today. There are now 13,394 women on the Register, accounting for 31.9% of all architects—a figure that continues to rise. While we’re proud of this progress, we recognise that it still falls short of reflecting the demographics of the UK. At ARB, we remain committed to shaping a profession that is fully representative of the society we serve. Learn more about the Register’s composition➡️https://lnkd.in/eBEqgcr

This week ARB sent a delegation to New York with the Department for Business and Trade. We discussed ARB’s routes to UK registration for internationally-qualified architects – in particular, the Mutual Recognition Agreement we signed with our counterparts in the US National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB), and explored further opportunities for improving routes into the profession. We had useful meetings with the New York State Boards for Architecture and Landscape Architecture, RIBA, Bespoke Careers, The American Institute of Architects (AIA) and Foster + Partners. We also hosted a Reception at the British Consulate residence that brought leaders together from the architecture sector and wider business to explore how the mutual recognition of qualified architects between the US and UK has created new opportunities for trans-Atlantic cooperation, professional mobility, and trade. Thank you to everyone who met with us, including Alan Gogbashian, Deputy Trade Commissioner for North America – British Consulate in New York and Michael Armstrong, Chief Executive Officer National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) A huge thank you to Abraham Thomas, Daniel Brodsky Curator, Modern Architecture, Design and Decorative Arts, for leading a fascinating private tour of the exhibition Materialized Space: The Architecture of Paul Rudolph at the The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

I was delighted to welcome the leaders of Architects Registration Board, Hugh Simpson and National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB), Michael Armstrong, to New York to discuss the opportunities created by the UK-US Architecture MRA and to explore how we can make transatlantic ties in the architecture sector even stronger.  It was a brilliant evening celebrating UK-US cooperation. Huge thanks to our partners and the #architecture capital of the US!  UK Business and Trade - North America
