Chartered Institute of Public Relations (UK) Code of Conduct

In an increasingly competitive world in which consumer power dictates market strength, investing in good public relations is necessary for success. As the service industry continues to grow, the Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) as the voice of public relations professionals in the UK, has an important role in ensuring that the trust and confidence of consumers is gained in the boardroom and on the high-street.

Reliable and accurate information

The CIPR operates an enforced Code of Professional Conduct and disciplinary powers to which all members agree to adhere. The Professional Practices Committee of the Institute has occasion to handle complaints brought against members of the Institute who are thought to be in breach of the Code.

In regard to the supply of public relations services, the Code emphasizes that honest and proper regard for the public interest, reliable and accurate information, and never misleading clients, employers and other professionals about the nature of representation or what can be competently delivered or achieved, are vital components to robust professional practice.
