The Heritage Alliance provides the secretariat for the Historic Environment Forum (HEF – formerly HEREC).
The HEF is the high level cross-sectoral committee, bringing together chief executives and policy officers from public and non-government heritage bodies to strengthen advocacy work and communications and to co-ordinate initiatives such as the annual audit of the historic environment - Heritage Counts.
The nine Regional Historic Environment Forums (RHEFs) have their own webpage here.
