<p>Working closely with the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy,
last year the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities encouraged the
Construction Leadership Council to conduct an industry survey on the professional
indemnity insurance constraints faced by construction professionals.</p><p>The largest
professional indemnity insurance survey of its kind in construction, the survey highlighted
the significant premium increases faced by many professionals across the construction
sector.</p><p>The survey has been used to support evidence provided by the Construction
Leadership Council to the upcoming Industry Safety Steering Group annual report, which
sets out industry's progress on culture change over the last year.</p><p>It has also
been used to consider industry actions that could produce a more proportionate approach
to PII premium pricing and fire safety exclusions, in particular to ensure that the
Government can continue to progress the remediation of unsafe cladding systems. The
data has also informed our work on EWS1 professional indemnity insurance cover.</p>
