WATCH: President Jenni Field's November video update

download

In her latest monthly video update, CIPR President Jenni Field looks back on a busy November which saw our first virtual National Conference and the launch of our new 'Engage' podcast.

One of the key messages from the National Conference was "just how important the work we do in public relations is" and Jenni points to continuous professional development (CPD) being key to demonstrating our relevance and skills within our organisations and to our clients. Of course, "with greater responsibility comes the need for greater ethical practice," something all CIPR members subscribe to through our Code of Conduct;

"It's important we focus on ethics, on professional conduct, and it's important that we join together as the voice of public relations, the need for it in society and the transparency around it."
