ARB is currently consulting on our General Rules and new Registration Rules. We are seeking to refine the General Rules to improve clarity and consistency of processes and policies as well as create a separate document for registration rules, which will cover how people can become registered for the first time, how architects can maintain their registration, and how former architects can be reinstated to the Register.   Find out more and submit your views: https://lnkd.in/ebXAa6kh

ARB has published updated EDI data for the Register this month.     The data we collect helps us better understand the current makeup of the profession and informs our regulatory activities and policies to work towards creating a profession that reflects society.
