The fire safety profession stands at a pivotal moment. In the wake of sweeping reforms and new regulations driven by the Grenfell Tower Inquiry Phase 2 recommendations and the evolution of the Building Safety Act 2022, professional standards in fire engineering are undergoing a fundamental change. With the landscape shifting and new regimes introduced, expectations for accountability and technical competence are rising across the built environment.

This session will explore what these shifts mean for professional standards, the future skillset of fire professionals, and how practitioners can prepare for the next phase of regulatory and cultural change.
