Wednesday 20 October 2010
London
Watch a video interview with PARN researchers discussing the conference.
Within the context of PARN’s 2010 initiative, The Professions Fight Back,
The Three Pillars of Professional Standards will look at how
professional bodies can prove the effectiveness of the things that they
do to set and maintain professional standards - through entry, ethics
and discipline, and CPD. The event will present different ways that
organisations try to measure the success of their professional standards
in meeting a variety of outcomes, and introduce a PARN model on the
different types of measurement used.
An in-depth presentation of PARN’s ‘Three Pillars’ model will also be
given; this model is based on research conducted for the Financial
Services Authority (FSA) in 2009 and focuses on three aspects of
professional standards - Entry Standards; Complaints and Discipline; CPD
and Positive Supports for Ethical Behaviour - and the choices that
professional bodies can make within each. The PARN report for the FSA
can be accessed here http://www.fsa.gov.uk/pubs/other/parn.pdf
Case studies from professional bodies who have attempted to measure
success will highlight the benefits and challenges of measuring the
effectiveness of professional standards.
The event will also look at aspects of marketing and communications, and
discuss how the effectiveness of professional standards can be
communicated to consumers/clients/patients, media and other
stakeholders.
