Sara delighted with Chartered PR status

She was rigorously assessed on her skills, knowledge and competencies in ethics, strategy and leadership by a team of expert assessors, led by Ben Verinder FCIPR, Dip CIPR, Found. Chart. PR.

Chartered Public Relations Practitioner status is a validation of skills, qualifications and experience. This benchmark of professional excellence and integrity represents the highest standard of knowledge, expertise and ethical practice.

“I’m delighted to have been awarded Chartered Practitioner status,” said Sara.

“For me, it is formal recognition that I operate to the highest professional standards. It gives not only myself, but my clients confidence that I operate professionally, honestly and with integrity. I left school in 2007 and graduated from Glasgow Caledonian University and a few years later a received my Masters from Queen’s University, Belfast. Continuous learning is really important to me and I really enjoyed this process,” says Sara.

CIPR President, Jenni Field Chart.PR, FCIPR says: “Chartered status demonstrates high levels of skill, knowledge and competence as well as high standards of practice and professionalism.

“As well as reflecting Sara’s breadth of experience and academic achievements, Chartered status demonstrates her commitment to life-long learning. It shows that she keeps pace in a fast-moving profession, updating your knowledge and skills through CPD.
