RICS joins forces with UK regulators to tackle shared challenges and deliver public value

RICS has joined the UK Regulators Network (UKRN), a respected forum bringing together 17 of the country’s most respected statutory and professional regulators. This new collaboration marks a significant opportunity to shape the future of regulation through shared insight, innovation, and collective impact.

The UKRN brings together leading regulators such as the Financial Conduct Authority, Ofgem, Ofcom, the Information Commissioner’s Office, and the Solicitors Regulation Authority. As part of the network, RICS will engage in cross-sector collaboration on shared challenges and opportunities, ranging from enhancing public trust in regulation to supporting economic growth and ensuring fairness across industries.

What this means for RICS and our stakeholders:

1. Insightful collaboration: We’ll connect with peers facing similar challenges, including those related to professional standards and compliance.
2. Benchmarking and best practice: Membership allows us to compare our performance and approaches with other leading regulators, helping us continuously improve.
3. Forward-thinking regulation: We’ll contribute to discussions shaping the future of regulation in the UK, ensuring our profession remains aligned with evolving expectations and public interest.
    

As our collaboration with UKRN evolves, we will bring valuable insights back to our profession, helping us uphold confidence, support our members and firms, and deliver public benefit in the built and natural environment.
