CIAT collaborates with CIOB, CIfA, Icon to launch The Arc

The Institute is a founding participant of The Arc, an historic built environment online resource.

The Arc is an online resource for clients and stakeholders in the built and historic environment sectors. 

The Arc's purpose is to help clients find specialist historic environment professionals, including CIAT-Accredited Conservationists.

It does this by signposting clients and stakeholders to the registers of the founding participants that contain contact details for accredited or similarly qualified individuals and businesses.

The goal is to help clients and stakeholders make informed decisions when choosing historic environment professionals. It simplifies access to and clarifies the benefits of engaging appropriately qualified and experienced professionals.

The other founding participants are:

• CIfA - Chartered Institute for Archaeologists
• CIOB - Chartered Institute of Building
• Icon - Institute of Conservation

The founding participants have agreed to work closely together in the interest of clients, stakeholder and wider industry to promote The Arc alongside their own registers
