Survey Liaison Group

THE voice for the UK Survey Profession

The Survey Liaison Group (SLG) was originally the Industry Liaison Group and was set up in the 1980’s by RICS, CICES and TSA with the intention of becoming THE voice for the UK Survey Profession. In 2006 the group was reformed and named as the SLG or Survey Liaison Group. It was felt that this name better reflected the aims and intentions of the group. Since then, the group has committed to meet twice a year, usually in the Spring and Autumn.

Recent work

The SLG has achieved many things over the years such as endorsement of each other’s guidance notes and client guides – this was the ethos behind the group originally to avoid duplication of effort in the survey profession. Cooperation is vital within such a small work sector and the most successful example of the cooperation has been the collaboration over the GEO Business Show since 2014. The SLG also recently met with representatives from the Geospatial Commission and continues to support initiatives to promote surveying as a career.
