About us

We are the Chartered Institute of Public Relations. We are the world's only Royal Chartered professional body for public relations practitioners, with nearly 11,000 members.

Our members are recognised PR professionals. We work with and for them to set, maintain and advance standards. We do this through our industry respected qualifications; our Continuing Professional Development scheme, Accreditation and Chartership programmes; our open, in-house and bespoke training; our industry awards and conferences; and the production of research, best practice and skills guidance.

Moreover, through our ethical Code of Conduct and searchable PR registers, we make our members accountable to their employers, clients and the wider public.

Vision

We equip PR professionals around the world to make a positive difference in business and society.

Our values

Advancing our community

We build a cooperative community by listening to all voices.  At the CIPR our work is bigger than any one individual.  We can be both bold and confident as we know we are looking out for each other in all our diversity.

Using our voice
We capture and amplify the diverse insights of our members, championing their concerns and speaking our truth.

Being human
We know and understand that we are all different.  We each bring unique skills, knowledge and potential to our industry and the CIPR.  We seek to support one another on our journey so everyone can play their part.

Tuning in
We seek to make sense of situations, noticing the nuance and difference in society.  We pay attention to what matters most to others, responding with care and understanding.

Purposefully curious
We are excited by our potential and the possibilities of communications.  We are always eager to learn, to try new approaches and adapt.  We are evolving and look outwards for inspiration and opportunities.
