This note sets out an outline for the role and governance of the UK Pulic Affairs Council. It builds on the Issues Paper published in May 2009, drawing on, where relevant, responses recieved to that consultation and other points that have been rasied since.
The three organizations that represent professional lobbyists: the Association of Professional Politial Consultants (APPC); the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) and the Public Relations Consultants Association (PRCA) today announce the formation of the UK Public Affairs Council (UKPAC), an independent body that will create and then oversee a register of all who interact professionally with the institutions of government, or who advise on those interactions.
The UKPAC Implementation Team is looking to appoint a Chairman and two board members to take the lead in setting the strategic direction of the newly formed UK Public Affairs Council.
