At RSK, we believe that professional accreditation does indeed matter and we are proud to say that we have 97 chartered professionals and 12 Specialists in Land Condition (SiLC). In the UK, legislation and guidance such as the National Planning Policy Framework and the National Quality Mark Scheme require staff who undertake work to be competent. Professional accreditation is one way that we can demonstrate this.
