This week on The RICS Podcast we’re taking the opportunity to offer guidance for members, APC candidates and students for the year ahead, with reliable insights from RICS’ own Chrissie O’Rourke Steven Thompson.
With a newly redrafted set of Rules of Conduct from February 2022, we’ve moved towards a simpler structure, with clearer case studies and a future-focused emphasis on respect, diversity and inclusion.
