The new report into ‘Heritage Skills in Conservation’ follows on from the IHBC-led research ‘THE VALUE OF HERITAGE: FIRST REPORT of the APPG on Conservation, Places & People’ The new report into ‘Heritage Skills in Conservation’ follows on from the IHBCled research ‘THE VALUE OF HERITAGE: FIRST REPORT of the APPG on Conservation, Places & People’, which consolidated views, priorities and initiatives in heritage values from across key sectors and our diverse partners. Now, the IHBC is looking at a practical priority for us: ‘Heritage Skills in Conservation’, our first step in commissioning a single vision of the skills challenges that directly constrain conservation outcomes across ALL areas of practice relevant to us. The research was designed to identify critical areas of concern for us. These range from the familiar – linked to capacity, demand and supply – to the catastrophic, such as the billions wasted on usually well-meaning but often inappropriate retrofit initiatives. Skills sit at the centre of the IHBC’s own cross-sector and interdisciplinary conservation objectives. As we advance our ambitions for interdisciplinary built and historic environment conservation practice, this work helps us shape our support for all conservation skills.
