Skills Needs Analysis for the Repair, Maintenance and Retrofit of Traditional (pre-1919) Buildings in England

Description

The supply of, and demand for, the knowledge and skills needed to maintain, repair and retrofit our existing traditional building stock is inconsistent. We need credible, up-to-date qualitative and quantitative evidence to illustrate the scale of the problem, and to prioritise future Historic England work, as well as wider sector investment in skills activities. We expect the data to be valuable to the new Cross-Sector Historic Environment Skills Forum as they take forward action plans for meeting skills needs. The forum, with secretariat provided by Historic England, was set up in 2022. It is providing the vehicle to help the sector prioritise the strategic and systemic skills issues that challenge us and lead the development of the interventions required to meet them. It covers heritage construction trades and professionals, archaeology, conservation and historic environment advice/management.
