Candice Robinson becomes 1,000th Chartered PR Practitioner

Mon, 22 Jun 2026 09:55:00 +0100

Communications and Engagement Manager at the North East London NHS Foundation Trust, Candice Robinson Chart.PR, has been named the 1,000th Chartered PR Practitioner.

The milestone was reached following the Institute’s latest assessment day on 18 June where Candice and 19 other members were awarded chartered status. It means that 49 members were chartered in the second quarter of this year - including members from Croatia, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Ghana, and the UK – and takes the total number of Chartered PR Practitioners to 1,008.

The Institute was awarded a Royal Charter in 2005 and with it, the ability to designate chartered practitioner status, the highest badge of professionalism within the PR profession. It has chartered the most recent 500 members within the last four years, demonstrating a growing demand for and increased value of professional recognition.

Chartership is a demonstration of a professional’s expertise and knowledge of public relations practice across strategy, ethics, and leadership.

The CIPR has marked reaching 1,000 Chartered Practitioners with a new Chartership Wall, where chartered members relate through stories, videos and personal reflections why they pursued Chartership and the impact it has had on their careers.

Chartered bodies urge government to champion professional standards to rebuild trust in public services

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 11:59:00 +0000

The Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) has joined a group of professional bodies representing more than 1.5 million people to write to the Government calling for stronger backing of Chartered and professionally registered status across key sectors, arguing it is essential to rebuilding public trust and driving economic growth.

In an open letter to Pat McFadden, the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, the Chartered Week Alliance, a coalition of over 40 Chartered and professional organisations, asks ministers to take a lead in expecting and promoting professional registration and Chartered status, including within the civil service.

The Alliance argues that Chartered bodies are uniquely placed to support national renewal: raising standards, widening access to professional careers, strengthening ethical practice and underpinning confidence in public and business services.

The call comes ahead of the second annual Chartered Week (23–27 February 2026), a campaign highlighting the role of professional standards in public accountability and economic competitiveness.

The letter - published in full below - states that partnering more closely with Chartered and professional bodies across disciplines, from science, technology, engineering and maths to environment, law, accountancy, leadership, management and procurement, will help ensure public policy has long-term credibility.

It also highlights that active membership of a professional body represents a clear pledge of public accountability, underpinned by codes of conduct and ethical commitments - a safeguard the Alliance says is “critical in the AI age”.

CHARTERED ALLIANCE LETTER TO GOVERNMENT

Dear Secretary of State,

Chartered bodies can help rebuild trust in public services

Chartered and professional bodies should be key partners of government as it builds trust in the public and business services we all depend on.

Our Chartered Alliance of over 40 organisations represents a combined membership of over two million people. That makes us a powerful ally in growing confidence across professions that are crucial to national growth and renewal.

Partnering with us in areas as diverse as science, technology, engineering and maths, the environment, law, accountancy, leadership and management, projects, payroll, and procurement, will ensure public policy has long-term credibility.

We have unique strengths in our membership communities and in our responsibility to be the voice of our professions, often supported by Royal Charters.

We drive revenue into the economy, by ensuring we have highly skilled workforces across critical sectors, rooted in professional registration and practice.

We create broad and accessible routes to professional careers, while keeping standards high, providing competitive advantage for the UK around the world.

Our members make clear ethical commitments as part of our Codes of Conduct, and support professionals’ freedom and safety to raise concerns, regardless of discipline.

Active membership of a professional body is a pledge of public accountability, which is critical in the AI age.

That is why we are asking government to take a lead in expecting and promoting registration and Chartered status for all professionals in the vital sectors represented here, including in the civil service.

We would be delighted to explore this further with you and welcome your support for the second Chartered Week campaign taking place 23-27 February 2026.

Respect for chartership status in marketing and PR on the rise but lower than other industries

Wed, 13 Apr 2022 08:48:58 +0100

A new study from the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) and the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) reveals that respect amongst chartered professionals in the marketing and public relations industries has improved in the last decade, but remains low compared to other professions.

‘The Value of Chartership’ report, which explores the views of 300 surveyed chartered members, finds two-fifths (39%) believe respect for chartership in PR and marketing has increased. However, the majority (72%) of respondents feel it is less respected in comparison to other chartered professions such as accountancy or engineering. Despite this, the report finds becoming chartered can provide a competitive edge for marketing and PR professionals:

Over four in ten (43%) argue it is very important for careers
Three in ten (31%) state being chartered provides them with an edge to win new business
15 percent have been able to demand a higher salary or increase their rates because of their chartership status

The study also explores the importance of Continuing Professional Development (CPD), with 72 percent of respondents arguing that regularly upskilling is crucial in order to progress their career.

About the research methodology

311 chartered practitioners were surveyed between October 20 and November 30, 2021
