Part 5: Other provisions about safety standards, etc. Architects Section 157: Architects: discipline and continuing professional development Background
Discipline
	This is a new provision to increase transparency for those procuring architectural services, in line with wider reform for greater assurance of competence of built environment professionals.
	Disciplinary orders are published on the Board’s website under "Previous PCC decisions", with separate lists for "current" and "spent" orders. These lists show all cases heard by the PCC since 1997 and include the date, architect, nature of offence and penalty imposed. This website is not easy to navigate and does not display the information to the public in a transparent way.
