Implementing the 2026 Stewardship Code: Insights and Guidance from the FRC

This session will feature insights from Andrea Tweedie, Head of Stewardship at the FRC, who will share the FRC’s current thinking on implementing the updated Code. This promises to be an engaging and insightful session designed to help members navigate changes to the Code. IA members will have the opportunity to engage directly with the FRC, asking questions about practical application of the Code, and discuss any challenges or queries you are experiencing as you begin planning your reporting against the new requirements.

The webinar will also address key issues raised through the IA’s recent engagement with the FRC and our response to the FRC’s guidance consultation, including vital implementation questions around feedback approaches, assessment criteria, and the role of guidance and best practice documents. Attendees will gain practical insights and answers to their queries, ahead of implementing the 2026 Code.
