We are proud to join over 40 organisations in signing an open letter to government.
"Dear Secretary of State (The Rt Hon Pat McFadden MP)
Chartered bodies can help 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, accountancy, leadership and management, projects, payroll, and procurement, will ensure public policy has long-term credibility.
We have unique strengths in our membership communities and in our responsibility to be the voice of our professions, often supported by Royal Charters.
We drive revenue into the economy, by ensuring 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 competitive advantage for the UK around the world.
Our members make clear ethical commitments as part of our Codes of Conduct, and support professionals’ freedom and safety to raise concerns, regardless of discipline.
Active membership of a professional body is a pledge of public accountability, which is critical in the AI age.
That is why we are asking government to take a lead in expecting and promoting registration and Chartered status for all professionals in the vital sectors represented here, including in the civil service.
We would be delighted to explore this further with you and welcome your support for the second Chartered Week campaign taking place 23-27 February 2026."
