Steering group
Engagement Overlay to the RIBA Plan of Work, published by the RIBA in January 2024, states in relation to steering groups: ‘These types of groups provide essential guidance and direction for a project or initiative to align with the specific needs of the local context and community. They play a key role in establishing clarity regarding the governance and decision-making authority of the group. Engaging stakeholders or forming a steering group can assist in nurturing partnerships with local organisations, fostering a more inclusive and comprehensive approach to engagement. Comprising a diverse and inclusive range of participants typically located within the study area, these groups regularly convene to assess progress at each project stage, address challenges, and make decisions. It is advisable to evaluate group members at the conclusion of each work stage to prevent exclusivity, stimulate fresh perspectives, and encourage innovative ideas. Their role is to ensure the project remains on track and achieves its defined goals, objectives, and design requirements. Similarly, other groups, such as peer-review groups, user groups, advisory groups, citizen panels, and Community Design Review Panels, may have distinct mandates.’
