Editor’s comment

This issue carries informative articles about Chartered status for individual CIPP members, learning and development, and the ‘Taylor review’. All are essential reading. On pages 8-9 you’ll find a report of George Powell’s recent visit to the CIPP head

development in our work and careers. This also reminds us that continuing professional development is crucial in our profession, and will play a key role in supporting Individual Chartered Status. Even if the government were to accept just some of the Taylor review proposals there will be significant impact on payroll management. The articles on pages 19, 20/21, 32 and 41 set out some of the details and implications for payroll and pensions. Please remember to view the online version of this issue for additional content.

office. George was instrumental in the foundation of the first payroll/ pension professional body in the UK. We should revere George for instigating our profession by his actions in 1980. The report complements the article on page 13 which announces details of individual Chartered status. Surely, this status would have been unimaginable in 1980? Amongst other things, the feature topic articles which are found on pages 34–38 emphasise the role and value of learning and

Chair’s message

All I seem to have done over the past few months is travel, meeting lots of payroll professionals on my way. This morning I woke up in New York City where I’m on a flying visit for a couple of days meeting with my US payroll teams and our new supplier…hopefully I’ll get a chance later to go and explore the city for a few hours. I was very excited to pick up an email when I arrived yesterday from the CIPP office to tell me that we have had a great response to my requests for more of our members to stand as board directors and this is better than I could have ever expected. Applications have now closed and when the appointments committee meet later this month, I’m sure we’ll end up with a very exciting voting process with a wide selection of candidates for members to choose from to represent them on our CIPP board. Don’t forget to vote for your preferred candidates when the voting opens online soon. This month we’ve launched our new online prospectus which you can view on our website; this will provide you with full details

of the CIPP’s education offerings including the industry recognised Foundation Degree in Payroll Management qualification for which enrolments are currently open. The prospectus also includes a useful career pathway to make it clear which study route is best for you. Final plans are being made for our annual conference and exhibition. If you haven’t booked your place, there is still time to join us at the largest independent UK payroll conference. If you want to approach your employer to show what a benefit it will be to your professional development we have created a sample business case on our website. I hope to see you at some of our events over the coming weeks.

CEO’s message

I recently attended the CIPP’s tutor training for our CIPP tutors who are the bedrock of our qualifications process. It was a great weekend with close to 100 in attendance. It was good to meet and speak with many of the

work throughout the year. Within this special week, dedicated to you, we’d love to see your comments and ideas shared with the CIPP, to further raise the profile for the profession.
