Over 40 Chartered and other professional bodies have signed an open letter to government offering their support as key partners in building trust in the public and business services we all depend on.

Chartered bodies can help government rebuild trust in public services

Chartered and professional bodies should be key partners of government as it builds trust in the public and business services we all depend on. 

Our Chartered Alliance of over 40 organisations represents a combined membership of over 1.5 million people. That makes us a powerful ally in growing confidence across professions that are crucial to national growth and renewal.

Partnering with us in areas as diverse as science, technology, engineering and maths, the environment, law, languages, accountancy, leadership and management, projects, payroll, and procurement, will ensure public policy has long-term credibility.

Strengths, Skills, Standards, Safety and Accountability

• We have unique strengths in our membership communities and in our responsibility to be a voice for our professions, supported by Royal Charters. 
• We help ensure we have highly skilled workforces across critical sectors, rooted in professional registration and practice.
• We create broad and accessible routes to professional careers, while keeping standards high, providing value for the UK and around the world.
• Our members make clear ethical commitments as part of our Codes of Conduct.
• Active membership of a professional body is a pledge of personal public accountability, which is critical in the AI age.
