New CPD Big Green Tick Launched for 2021
New CPD Big Green Tick Launched for 2021

We are several months into the new Continuing Professional Development (CPD) year, and CPD
returns are being submitted regularly now. It seems the updates we made to the scheme have been
well received – remember, there is no longer Formal or Informal CPD, you just need to record points
against at least three different CPD activity types from the list of over 70 available to choose from.
All those that have successfully completed their CPD for 2021
have been sent our new CPD Big Green Tick, along with the
usual certificate to their records and share on Linkedin.
The new logo allows members to easily display that they
continue their professional development in their email footer
and on their website profiles.

Don’t take our word for it!

So, is it working? Don’t take just our word for it – here are some comments from those who have already
successfully submitted their CPD for this year.
I’ll get the new logo up tonight - a great initiative. I really like it. Allan Parry CSyP FSyI
