The Policy team plays a key role in helping to decide and communicate the RIBA's position, and delivers professional guidance across a wide range of issues. The department also administers and report to the RIBA's Policy and Strategy Group.  We also co-ordinate and manage work programmes across the organisation, working closely with the Public Affairs and Leadership teams, and our Regional Offices. 

Areas of particular policy focus include:

• Planning
• Sustainability and Climate Change
• Flooding 
• Public Procurement
• Education
• Health
• Housing
• Inclusive Design

 

Main Departmental Responsibilities:

• Challenging the government to ensure that good design is valued economically, socially and environmentally
• Reviewing the RIBA's strategic planning
• Co-ordinating policy activity across the Institute at all levels (proactive and reactive, general and sector-specific, external and internal) 
• Providing a resource for policy development, channelling inputs from RIBA Interest Groups and Committees, the RIBA Client Forums, Knowledge Communities and Building Futures, the RIBA's thinktank
