In her welcome speech, Baroness Henig spoke about the growth of the Register which has increased by 25 so far this year with 260 registrants now claiming CSyP status. Assessors and mentors were thanked for all their hard work behind the scenes as were the HQ staff. New initiatives were cited including bespoke workshops for government departments which highlight the continued interest in gaining this esteemed accreditation.
