RIBA CPD informal core curriculum 7 Inclusive Environments - Marsha Ramroop In this episode Lisa Raynes talks to global award-winning inclusion culture expert Marsha Ramroop. Join us on ‘the Pride Road Architects podcast’ as we navigate the intricate landscape of RIBA's CPD core curriculum, providing insights, expert interviews, and valuable tips for architects seeking to thrive in the ever-evolving field of architecture.   In this episode Lisa Raynes talks to inclusion culture expert Marsha Ramroop.   Marsha is a global award-winning inclusion culture expert, with a passion for driving change in the built environment and engineering sectors. She sees these two areas as pillars of how we create our societies, and that if she can influence those sectors to be inclusive, she can more strategically influence the creation of a more inclusive world. Her book Building Inclusion: Practical Guide to Inclusion in Architecture & the Built Environment, is being published by Routledge in August this year.   Her best-practice solutions are rooted in CQ – cultural intelligence – the behavioural capability to work and relate effectively across difference. She was the inaugural Director of Inclusion and Diversity at the Royal Institute of British Architects, before which she had a 30-year career in broadcasting, including 20 years at the BBC. You can pre-order her new book 'Building Inclusion' here https://www.buildinginclusion.info/ RIBA Chartered Members, are required to engage in and document a minimum of 35 hours of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) annually.  They must centre around RIBA's CPD framework of ten mandatory core curriculum topics, each designed to address the skills essential for architects. 1️⃣ Architecture for Social Purpose 2️⃣ Health, Safety, and Wellbeing 3️⃣ Business, Clients, and Services 4️⃣ Legal, Regulatory, and Statutory Compliance 5️⃣ Procurement and Contracts 6️⃣ Sustainable Architecture 7️⃣ Inclusive Environments 8️⃣ Places, Planning, and Communities 9️⃣ Building Conservation and Heritage 🔟 Design, Construction, and Technology The CPD can take on a variety of forms, from paid for structured RIBA accredited CPD courses, RIBA CPD roadshows delivered for free by suppliers to informal learning via podcasts like this!
