CIPP STAFF APPOINTMENTS THE CIPP has recently made several appointments within its policy and education teams. The five members of staff are, namely: ● ● Diana Bruce MCIPPdip – technical author ● ● Ben Carter BA (Hons) FCIPPdip MCMI – education manager
● ● Joanne Leather ACIPP – education support specialist ● ● Lora Murphy ACIPP – senior policy liaison officer ● ● Fiona Smith MCIPPdip – trainer
Diana has recently moved from the CIPP’s policy team to material updates in her new role. She joined the CIPP in 2009 and was previously responsible for providing content for CIPP’s magazine, amongst other things, which sets her in good stead for her new role assisting in the updating and maintaining of the Institute’s training and qualifications materials. Prior to joining the CIPP in 2017 as a trainer, Ben worked as a payroll consultant for a large payroll and HR software developer. This enabled him to work with payroll professionals across different industries and illustrated the interaction that payroll has with other internal, and external, stakeholders at a strategic level. Ben was appointed education manager in July 2019, replacing Toni Green when she retires in November 2019. Ben will be instrumental in continuing Toni’s hard work in developing and maintaining our professional qualifications and relations with tutors. After nearly 23 years working in ‘finance’, accruing a vast amount of experience and two children, Joanne joined the CIPP in 2013 as a qualification administrator. Joanne’s role is essentially to support the education manager in the development of all qualifications and to manage our online learning portals. Lora, who has worked extensively within payroll for approximately ten years, joins the CIPP as senior policy liaison officer, filling Diana’s former role. She will be predominantly responsible for keeping CIPP members informed of legislative updates across a variety of communication platforms and be involved with the maintenance of the Institute’s social media accounts. There will also be some analytical scope to the role, as she will be creating surveys and collating results. Fiona was appointed with effect 30 September as a full-time trainer, joining the CIPP from her role as assistance group payroll manager. Fiona brings a wealth of experience and knowledge from which our course delegates can learn.
