The UK Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government is conducting a consultation on proposed amendments to the Architects Act 1997. The Building Safety Bill would allow the Architects Registration Board to set requirements and criteria for continuing professional development and establish the power to remove architects from the register for failure to comply. The ARB website would also be updated to allow disciplinary orders to be listed next to the name of the architect. The proposal also presents two options for the recognition of architects qualified in the EU and other countries.
