520			_aLooks at Institute of Historic Building Conservation (IHBC) decision to seek its members views on how it should respond to plans for accreditation in conservation. Discusses problems with the accreditation plans such as: the relatively low take-up by candidates; lack of commonality across the schemes; criticism from non-accredited professionals that the schemes create a closed shop; and the rejection by some long standing professionals to having to prove their conservation credentials. Examines issues including: the accreditation framework document; assessment methodology; the role of assessors; the structure of CPD; the future of the Edinburgh Group (a discussion group formed to examine the impact of accreditation); implications for IHBC and its members; and the draft IHBC scheme. Table outlines the questions the IHBC will ask its members. More information can be found at www.ihbc.org.uk.
