[ALGAO|Glossary#ALGAO UK|target='_blank'] members within England have established a network of regional groups, coincident with the government regions, for HER staff and, in some cases, for planning archaeologists. These groups provide a valuable forum for HER managers to discuss working practices, data standards and to work together on regional initiatives such as the preparation of a research framework for the region. There are no equivalent regional groups in Scotland or Wales. The [Scottish SMR Forum|http://smrforum-scotland.org.uk/] is the focus for discussion of HER issues, and includes Historic Environment Scotland and the National Trust for Scotland, as well as local authority HERs and SMRs, and others. The four Welsh HER Managers meet regularly to discuss similar matters to their colleagues in regional HER fora in England.

[Historic England|Glossary#Historic England|target='_blank'] has established local offices to provide a local base for ancient monuments inspectors and historic buildings advisors. Each HER is covered by a designated ancient monuments inspector who provides a first point of contact for conservation advice and information about [Historic England|Glossary#Historic England|target='_blank'] projects and programmes. The [Historic England|Glossary#Historic England|target='_blank'] regional offices have also established regional historic environment fora. These have a broad membership of public, voluntary and private bodies to provide a clear focus for historic environment issues, for example contributing to regional ‘State of the Historic Environment' reports. There are no regional offices of [Historic Scotland|Glossary#Historic Scotland|target='_blank'], but both the listed building and the ancient monuments inspectorate are organised on an area basis.

Topical or thematic surveys are carried out by local studies groups, archaeology and history societies, special interest groups and national agencies. The surveys include national projects creating records of monuments of a particular period or type, for example the Defence of Britain project. The groups and societies organising these surveys hold libraries, archives, collections and increasingly databases of information that complement HER holdings. HER managers often work with these groups and societies, supplying information as well as aiming to incorporate new information and enhance their own databases at the end of the project. An on-line discussion forum, Historic Environment List For Projects and Societies, has been set up to promote co-operation and sharing of ideas/information between survey projects and special interest groups and societies involved in recording all aspects of the historic environment.
