The Institute of Water (IWater) is proud to participate in Chartered Week 2025, the first in an ongoing annual national awareness week dedicated to celebrating and promoting the role of professional registration and its impact on society today.
This year’s theme, “Celebrating Trusted Professionals,” highlights the dedication, expertise, and integrity of those who achieve chartered status and other professional accreditations—key qualities that our family of UK water professionals embody.
About Professional Registration
Professional registration is a recognition of knowledge, experience, and professionalism, demonstrating an individual’s commitment to maintaining and enhancing their skills through continuing professional development (CPD).
IWater’s approach to Professional Registration is unique and supportive, reflecting our role as seeking to better equip our members to do their day jobs, advocate for the sector and improve the environment and lives of their communities.
As the only professional body licensed to offer nine grades of professional registration across Engineering, Environment, and Science we provide tailored support to help individuals achieve and maintain their status.
Why Chartership Matters
Achieving chartered status is a mark of excellence, demonstrating an individual’s commitment to continuous learning, ethical practice, and leadership within their field. It strengthens trust within the industry and ensures that professionals are equipped to tackle the challenges facing the water sector today and in the future.
Get Involved
To mark Chartered Week 2025, the Institute of Water will be:
- Sharing insights from our Chartered Members about their journeys and achievements
- Highlighting the history and evolution of our professional registration offering in the water sector
- Providing guidance and resources to help members take the next step in their careers
Water professionals at all stages of their careers are encouraged to get involved by following the conversation on social media using #CharteredWeek and exploring our online resources.
