RIBA provides update on PII

Article summary

The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) has published an update on its efforts in raising concerns with the government on the challenges faced by architects in securing effective and affordable Professional Indemnity Insurance (PII). RIBA believes the increasing cost and diminishing scope of coverage is a serious cause for concern and threatens the long-term future of the profession if action is not taken urgently. In recent months, RIBA has acted raised the PII crisis with ministers, senior civil servants and key industry figures and it has established a working group to investigate the insurance challenge led by RIBA council and board member Jennifer Dixon.
