CIPS has confirmed that their online training module in Ethical Procurement and Supply will be available free to members for a further year. The training, which covers Fraud, Bribery, Corruption and human rights abuses can be easily accessed via My CIPS. Completing the E-learning and passing the test signifies your knowledge and commitment to act with integrity and results in recognition from CIPS that you are trained in ethics, in the form of a certificate of achievement and public recognition on the CIPS website. Non CIPS members can pay a small fee of just £38 +VAT to access the training.
In related news, HEPA has negotiated a special discount with CIPS for new members or those whose membership has lapsed for more than three months.
