2. Educate Enhance access to IHBC standards and services across all built and historic environment practices and operations. For traditional skills and trade, make learning resources and infrastructure more accessible to non-professional and non-specialist users. For professional practitioners, align our services and standards to facilitate wider professional engagement and continuing professional development. For retrofit, embed the informed management of retrofit as a core skill for the Conservation Professional. IHBC’s ‘Five Commitments’ to Help Heritage Skills in Conservation 1. Advocate Present targeted parliamentary-level briefings across the UK and its Home Nations. Partnerships are critical to sector advocacy and success, not least the link with bodies such as Built Environment Forum Scotland and, in England, The Heritage Alliance. We will build on our APPG work with new briefings to enhance crosssector engagement at the highest levels. 3. Investigate Investigate the complex challenges in heritage management processes and skills and respond accordingly. Regulatory, policy and administrative processes in heritage management can be disconnected, under-funded and ignored, obscuring the real challenges and deficits. We will host a parliamentary briefing on how the management of valued buildings and places under-serves society, and what we can do. 4. Celebrate Celebrate the achievements of heritage skills in conservation, helped by our CREATIVE Conservation Fund. IHBC'S CREATIVE Conservation Fund is designed to help built and historic environment public benefit priorities using restricted IHBC budgets, donations and bequests. 5. Integrate Establish and host a new network, open and free, to support service leads delivering conservation-related learning, training and education. Skills development and support can maximise conservation benefits if it reaches across all conservation-related sectors, disciplines and practices - from craft to retrofit.
