This is nothing new, right?
It feels as if some aspects are getting worse and "chartered practice" should be a mechanism that does more than it does currently to set standards for practices (rather than individuals).
However much as RIBA talks about setting standards the fact it's optional to the profession means it can't do anything too unpopular as it needs the fees. So it can only 'lead' on what is already accepted. ie. Should be able to curb the worst practices but may not be able to radically transform mainstream practice culture, and has no effect on unchartered practices.
The ethical framework stuff is part of the new framework they have already launched, it's not a response to the petition. Which is probably a better way around than RIBA President needing a petition from a newly formed action group to tell them this is happening - but I'm sure there's an element of "I guess I have to look deeply concerned now".

This is nothing new, right? some practices operate like a sweatshop..
I’ve seen this a lot in my career, bullying, micro aggression, modern day slavery. A profession that can lack morality and humanity
