A new School of Government Property for all public sector
workers employed in managing the government estate has been
established today.
The school will allow civil servants who work in the field
of managing government property to gain industry recognised
accreditations, through organisations such as the Royal
Institute of Chartered Surveyors and the Institute of
Workplace and Facilities Management.
The announcement builds on the recently signed
Declaration of Government Reform, by improving the
level of commercial expertise in the Civil Service
and ensuring the public estate continues to be
managed with the utmost efficiency.
The new school will be part of the Government Skills
and Curriculum Campus, and was officially launched
through a virtual event today. The launch was
attended by more than 300 property professionals from
every Government department.
Speaking at the launch of the Government School of
Property, Cabinet Office Minister, said:
The public estate plays a key role in levelling up
all parts of the United Kingdom. It can transform
places and public services, boost local growth and
help reform the Civil Service to ensure it’s rooted
in the communities it serves.
These priorities need talented, capable people with
the right skills to deliver.
The Government School of Property will allow Civil
Servants to take an active role in developing their
skills.
The School of Government Property will offer:
- tailored property training
- leadership development programmes
- a bespoke learning and development curriculum
- support to achieve external accreditation from
industry-recognised bodies such as the Royal
Institute of Chartered Surveyors and the Institute of
Workplace and Facilities Management.
