CIOB launches government interaction portal

In a bid to improve access for policy makers to industry knowledge, the Chartered Institute of Building has launched a new website that delivers key information, data and perspectives that reveal the true extent and value of construction professionals to UK society.
 
At a local level, the portal details construction’s activity across the UK so that MPs wanting to engage with the industry in their own constituencies can get a better feel for its influence. At a national level, the site provides a transparent way to view and engage with CIOB responses to government and industry consultations.

The site holds a catalogue of CIOB data and research that has been collated over the last ten years.  It includes analysis of skills shortages in construction before, during and after the 2008 recession, the impact of ageing populations on the built environment, migration in construction, crime and corruption reporting and the value of professionalism within the sector.
 
The portal can be viewed at http://policy.ciob.org.
