The Professional Standards Committee (PSC) is a standing committee of the CDI.
The committee advises the board on issues concerning professional standards, professional development and ethics.
Under the CDI’s constitution, the board must gather feedback from the PSC regarding any proposed constitutional changes. This ensures input from a professional standards perspective from across the CDI’s constituencies.
The PSC also plays a critical governance role with the maintenance of the Code of Ethics and responsibility for the CDI Complaints and Discipline Procedure.
PSC members also form the judging panels for the UK Career Development Awards and, with members of the CDI Board, award CDI Fellowships.
If you wish to raise a matter with the PSC, contact a relevant constituency member, the PSC Chair or the Head of Professional Development and Standards, Claire Johnson.
If you wish to raise a disciplinary issue, please follow the guidance on the CDI’s disciplinary procedure.
Members of the PSC
All members of the PSC are elected by the membership for a term of three years, renewable once. The PSC is led by an elected chair and is made up of two representatives for each professional constituency and one representative for each national constituency.
The chair of the PSC is also an officer of the CDI.
The CDI’s Head of Professional Development and Standards attends the PSC meetings, presents updates and papers and records the minutes of meetings.
