Networks

Connecting like-minded people across the sector can enable sharing, learning and alignment.

The Accord will set up peer networks within government and industry. The networks will enable sharing, learning and encourage alignment in the construction sector on key issues – while also ensuring our work is responsive to the needs and realities of the sector.

Priority 11. Creating and leading networks

As the past few years of the Accord have shown us, effective networks can make a huge difference to an industry. Launched in 2021, the Accord Network has created a community committed to positive change in the sector, by defining a strong set of cultural and practical expectations for the whole sector to work towards.

Over the next three years, we will continue building on the Accord Network and the Accord Forum. We will also develop and maintain new networks and reference groups to act as two-way channels between government and industry.
