THE CIPP
Continuing professional development (CPD) What is CPD? CPD is any form of learning or development that benefits you in your professional environment. This includes, but is not restricted to: l Calls into the CIPP’s Advisory Service l On the job learning l Reading News On Line , Professional in Payroll, Pensions and Reward and other publications l Attending national forums l Any form of networking where you may have learned something new l Attending training courses and/or events CPD is not just completing a qualification; it is the part that comes after that. Achieving a qualification is a great way of demonstrating knowledge and skills at a given point in time. CPD is demonstrating that you have maintained and developed that knowledge and skill set, and it should be achieved through setting learning objectives and development goals, whatever stage of your career. Why is CPD important? CPD is important because things are changing all of the time. Through logging your CPD with the CIPP, and therefore maintaining the right to use the letters associated with membership * after your name, you are
demonstrating your commitment to keeping up to date and compliant with constantly changing legislation. You are also showing your employer, or future employers, that you are open to change and willing to learn new processes or ways of doing things, which may improve operational efficiencies. Who needs to complete CPD? All associate, full and fellow members. How do I log CPD? By logging onto the members’ area of cipp.org.uk , you will find a form to complete your activity and a record of all of your CPD for the last two years. This links to your membership record and enables continued use of the letters after your name.
121 CPD appointments The CIPP offers face to face CPD appointments at all our events. If you would like to discuss your CPD further, email cpd@cipp.org.uk.
