In February 2000 English Heritage was asked by the Government - jointly by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions (DETR) - to co-ordinate an important and wide-ranging review of all policies relating to the historic environment. This was published as [Power of Place: The future of the historic environment (English Heritage 2000)|Bibliography#English Heritage 2000|target='_blank']. In its response, [The Historic Environment: A Force for Our Future|http://www.tourisminsights.info/ONLINEPUB/DCMS/DCMS%20PDFS/HISTORIC%20ENV%20FORCE%20-%201.pdf|target='_blank'] (DCMS 2001), the Government committed itself to holding a consultation on the future of HERs. This was carried out in 2003 and included a draft two-stage benchmarking standard Historic Environment Records: Benchmarks for Good Practice (Chitty 2002). The results were published together with the findings of the [Heritage Protection Review as Review of Heritage Protection: The Way Forward|http://www.architecture.com/Files/RIBAHoldings/PolicyAndInternationalRelations/Policy/PublicAffairs/DCMSHeritageReview.pdf|target='_blank'] (DCMS 2004). The results showed support for statutory status and standards. In parallel English Heritage commissioned a report assessing the resources required to bring all the HERs in England up to the 1st stage benchmark ([Baker, Chitty and Edwards 2004|https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/filearea.cgi?LMGT1=HERFORUM&a=get&f=/Reports/SMRRA-Main-RepAppndx.pdf|target='_blank']).

The Welsh Government, through Cadw, encouraged the Welsh Archaeological Trusts to secure the HERs as publicly accessible records should any Trust cease to operate. Accordingly each record and its assets are now held by a separate charitable Trust, administered by the Trustees of the four Welsh Archaeological Trusts. Alongside this Cadw, through the Strategic Framework for Historic Environment Records in Wales, has recognised the HER Benchmarks for Good Practice (Chitty 2002) and funding for the HERs from the RCAHMW has been targeted to enable Welsh HERs in the first instance to achieve the stage one benchmarks. A new Heritage Bill is expected for Wales in 2014-15 which will consider the statutory status of Welsh HERs.
