Welcome It’s been a fantastic first year as CEO of the CIPP, and I am delighted to continue our unwavering support for our members and the wider payroll and pensions industries. Additionally, we look forward to further developing IPP Education (IPPE), a wholly owned subsidiary of the CIPP, to deliver the best possible products and services in line with an ever- changing landscape.

From early 2022, IPPE training courses moved from full, online delivery to a hybrid training model, ensuring IPPE delivers training that best suits your

preferred ways of learning. The team is always listening to our members and looking to develop new courses and partnerships to keep industry and members up to date. A great

example of this is the launch of Payroll QuickLearn in early 2025, offering online, OnDemand courses designed for quick, practical learning. These courses cover essential payroll topics in under an hour and we can’t wait to hear your feedback. This prospectus features five new CIPP-approved qualifications, including the Level 4 Payroll Specialist Certificate (launched in 2024) and the new Level 5 Payroll Management Diploma (available Autumn 2025). These qualifications are developed, delivered, assessed and awarded by IPP Education, which gained Ofqual recognition in June 2022. Additionally, our End-Point Assessment service for the Level 3 and Level 5 payroll apprenticeship standards has grown beyond expectations, conducting in excess of 2,400 * assessments since 2022. Our award-winning events are another area where we continue to offer a mix of face-to-face and online networking and learning. We’re extremely proud to support and lead the payroll industry in celebrating National Payroll Week every September, now in its 26th year and of course, our Annual Conference and Exhibition has grown to become the largest event in the industry, supported by many sponsors and industry leaders. In 2024, we launched our Payroll Live event, and in 2025 we will have two Payroll Live events, one north and one south, for those new to payroll, and in support of our #ChoosePayroll campaign, raising awareness of the CIPP and the payroll profession. Membership of the CIPP offers payroll, pensions, and reward professionals access to a wealth of reliable resources, support, and opportunities to enhance your career. Benefits include expert guidance, industry news, and professional development programs, tailored to the ever-evolving landscape of payroll and pensions. Finally, our policy and research team work tirelessly on behalf of members and industry to respond to government consultations. The team sit on numerous forums to ensure members have a voice and are represented at Government level. Over the last two years the team have presented evidence within the Palace of Westminster, ever raising the profile of the industry.
