The current model which is being encouraged /required by the government is
to separate the regulatory and professional association roles.
The Law Society and the Bar Council are establishing separate regulatory
bodies to bring them into line with current practice in Engineering,
Architecture and Medicine where the regulatory bodies are the Engineering
Council, the Architects Registration Board and the General Medical Council.
There is no statutory requirement for librarians/information professionals
to be regulated.
From the comments made by Tony McSean CILIP is fairly ineffectual in the
role of regulator and should concentrate its efforts on becoming a thriving
professional association.
If regulation becomes a sufficiently important issue in the future then an
independent regulatory body would need to be established
