CIH qualifications clearly demarcated
In response to his letter (Inside Housing, 18 June), can I reassure Gary Hall that everyone (including employers) will still be able to distinguish academically qualified members of the Chartered Institute of Housing from those members without qualifications - the former will be called ‘chartered members’ - a term more widely understood by employers than our current ‘corporate’ grade - while the latter will be called ‘members’.

This ability to continue to be able to recognise the study and commitment made by those individuals who have gained one of our qualifications has always been at the heart of our reform proposals.
The proposals also allow existing fellows and those in the process of becoming fellows to retain this grade but I have to tell Mr Hall that, staggered or not, all our consultation showed majority support for moving on from creating any new fellows.
Howard Farrand, immediate past president, CIH
