Hello September – the month in which we celebrate payroll with National Payroll Week (NPW). This is a great month for connecting, networking, learning and being inspired by our industry. I can’t wait to see all the photos of how you celebrated in a future issue of Professional. Education plays an essential part in ensuring the continual development of payroll professionals. This issue will show you education options and pathways which will lead to promotion and development in the payroll community. With the Government focussed on making work pay, we know there’s much change to come which will impact our payrolls, so keeping ahead of change and making sure we’re offering relevant training and education to support the profession is the number one priority. Education around pay is important from the first day of employment, and our ‘schools project’ to get this onto the national curriculum is really moving forward. Read about what we’re doing in this issue. Remember to use the benefits of your membership and contact us for any of your payroll needs. From education and qualifications to using the Advisory Service, we’re here to help. I look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events, especially our Annual Conference and Exhibition, so please come over and say hello.

I do hope you’ve all had a glorious summer break. Here we go for NPW. I hope you’ve all downloaded your packs, shared with those you work with and are looking forward to an amazing week. This will also include the Payroll Services Summit or ‘PSS’ for our payroll bureau service providers. I’m really looking forward to meeting up with many of you across the week. Here’s to a fun-filled NPW25.

I’m writing this message between two key IPPE events which take place in the summer. The IPPE Training and Education Conferences (ITEC) 2025 were delivered both face-to-face and virtually. I’ve been inspired by these fantastic events which are assembled by the education services team with full support from the events team. These conferences are development opportunities for all our tutors and assessors, and I would like to personally recognise all the hard work completed by Joanne Leather, Gemma Mullis and the education services team in creating and delivering such an enriching experience. Everyone in attendance at those conferences is committed to lifelong learning, and for anyone who wants to stay ahead in any professional capacity, a commitment to lifelong learning is a prerequisite. Within the pay professions, change is the one constant. This includes changing legislation, changing policies, changing ways of doing things and constantly changing technology to support how information is shared between systems, both internally and externally. In support of our commitment to helping the next generation with financial awareness education as early as possible, here at the CIPP there’s a schools project underway. This is to develop and share material for school age and college age students, and we’re working hard behind the scenes to make this happen. Please contact me should you have any questions regarding this or indeed, are able to support further in any way. As always, you have my contact details below and I’d be delighted to hear your thoughts.
