]]>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.

The Principles cover:

  • Human-Led Governance
  • Personal and Organisational Responsibility
  • Awareness, Openness, and Transparency
  • Education and Professional Development
  • Active Global Voice

About the Taylor Bennett Foundation 
The Taylor Bennett Foundation (TBF) is a UK-based charity dedicated to increasing ethnic diversity in public relations and communications. Established in 2008 by executive search firm Taylor Bennett (now Taylor Birchwood), with support from Brunswick Group, the Foundation aims to empower Black, Asian, and minority ethnic talent to pursue and thrive in communications careers. 

Over the past fifteen years, we have helped over 1,200 young people to start their PR and communications careers through professional development programmes. We offer fully paid, award-winning training, mentoring, and internship programmes in partnership with leading industry agencies and FTSE 100 companies. Beyond career guidance, our education and leadership programmes support participants from entry-level to executive leadership.

]]>
The Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) and the Taylor Bennett Foundation have launched the fourth cohort of their award-winning Reverse Mentoring Programme, designed to accelerate diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) progress across the public relations and communications industry.

Now entering its fourth year, the scheme has grown by 50% – a powerful signal that, despite mounting pressure and scrutiny on DEI initiatives, many agencies and in-house teams are reaffirming their commitment to building inclusive cultures. Participating organisations in 2025 include BT, Virgin Money, Freuds, MONY Group, and others.

Over the next 10 months, 20 senior leaders from across the industry will be paired with PR and comms professionals from Black, Asian and ethnic minority backgrounds. These partnerships are designed to spark candid conversations, challenge bias, and drive cultural change by allowing senior leaders to hear first-hand experiences from underrepresented voices in the industry.

  • All participants were carefully selected and matched through a joint process led by the CIPR and the Taylor Bennett Foundation, drawing on a wide pool of agency and in-house professionals across sectors.
  • The programme will run until February 2026.

About fox&cat 

Fox&cat is a new breed of agency that parallels the importance of managing the pressures and stresses of working in comms with delivering impeccable integrated communications for its clients. Fox&cat operates with a network of over sixty communications professionals covering its four key service areas. This includes thirty+ in-house and agency-side senior communications consultants spanning all aspects of integrated communications, six professional coaches focusing on managing pressure, and four experts in leadership training and wellbeing. 

]]>The Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) has partnered with communications agency fox&cat, the Public Relations and Communications Association (PRCA) and the Healthcare Communications Association (HCA) to launch Under the tree, a free training programme designed to equip PR practitioners with the skills they need to manage work-related pressure and stress.

The programme is fully CPD-accredited and includes a 13-week programme with free weekly 45-minute online sessions by trained specialists and senior leader panel discussions around mental health.

It was developed in response to 2022's Workplace Mental Wellbeing Audit revealing that more than 90% of PR professionals experienced poor mental health, above the average of 69% for workers across all other professional sectors in the UK. The research found that of those PR professionals experiencing poor mental health in the past year, less than a quarter (22%) took time off work to rest and recover versus 41% for workers in all other professional sectors. Nearly 60% of PR practitioners cited overwhelming workload as a key source of workplace stress.

The sessions are constructed around the issues highlighted by the mental health audit and focus on critical connection; team mental health safety; resilience and confidence; solutions-focused thinking; mindfulness and me; and mental health leadership.

Information on the programme 

Sessions will be held live on fox&cat’s LinkedIn page. All sessions will be recorded and will be made available alongside downloadable resources and top tips from the campaign webpage. 

The 13-week CDP-accredited programme has sessions every Wednesday at 12.15 from 22 February through to 17 May. Full session details can be found here: www.foxandcat.online/underthetree  

Those who take advantage of these free sessions will receive: 

  • education from eleven 45-minute drop-in sessions to introduce the skills and techniques needed to effectively manage pressure from fox&cat’s extended network of expert trainers 
  • two panel discussions aimed at senior leaders between fox&cat, CIPR, PRCA and HCA around the Mental Wellbeing in PR research findings, the importance of training and a look towards the future of mental health in communications
]]> Under the tree programme helps translate these insights into meaningful education to improve the skills we all need to better manage mental health when working in communications. ]]> Under the tree programme to ensure the sessions meet the needs of the industry. We are very pleased to be part of this initiative and witness fox&cat take it on and fund it as part of their own specific area of corporate responsibility.]]> Tue, 07 Feb 2023 09:57:34 +0000 Tue, 07 Feb 2023 10:16:00 +0000 https://content.presspage.com/uploads/214/500_uttfeature.png?10000 https://content.presspage.com/uploads/214/uttfeature.png?10000 CIPR launches new on-demand training platform with course on crisis communication https://newsroom.cipr.co.uk/cipr-launches-new-on-demand-training-platform-with-course-of-crisis-communication/ https://newsroom.cipr.co.uk/cipr-launches-new-on-demand-training-platform-with-course-of-crisis-communication/555236About the Chartered Institute of Public Relations
