Chartered Institute of Public Relations

Chartered Institute of Public Relations

The Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) is the professional body for PR practitioners in the United Kingdom. Founded in February 1948 as the Institute of Public Relations, by 2009 it had grown to over 9000 members involved in all aspects of the public relations industry, and is the largest body of its type in Europe.

The CIPR advances the PR industry in the UK by making its members accountable through a code of conduct, developing policies for the PR industry, representing its members, and raising standards through education and training.

During its 60th anniversary year, its President was Elisabeth Lewis-Jones. The current President is BBC communications chief, Paul Mylrea.
