Professional membership carries with it a responsibility to maintain professional standards by acting ethically, adhering to the professions code of practice, and keeping up-to-date through ongoing development.
The full CPD policy relevant to PACR accreditation (also includes details of the 'Time Out' policy)
As an accredited conservator-restorer you are required to carry out regular reviews of ongoing learning and development and identify areas for further development. You will be periodically recalled to submit your CPD review to ensure that you are updating your knowledge and skills and continuing to keep up with developments in your field. No judgments are made on the contents of your reviews.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ALL ACRs
CPD RECALL Communication: Do we have your correct email address?
The annual continuing professional development (cpd) recall is co-ordinated electronically and if you have been selected to submit a cpd review you will receive notification by email in February.
It is a requirement of maintaining your ACR status that you submit a cpd review when requested and so it is important that your contact details are accurate. If you would like to update your email details please contact Katherine Cresser, Membership Officer

CPD Review and Action Plan form 2013 CPD Review form for accredited conservators
1) Once accredited, is there anything else I have to do?
Yes you are required to carry out regular reviews of your ongoing learning and development (continuing professional development - cpd) and identify areas for further development. Your professional body will call in your review periodically; this is to ensure that you are maintaining your cpd and not to make judgements on its content. (Please see the CPD Guide)
2) When will I be recalled for my cpd review?
Newly accredited conservators will be recalled two years post accreditation, i.e. accredited in February or July 2010 the first recall will be in 2012.
In addition a random selection is made annually to recall approximately 10% of ACRs.
3) How will I know I have been recalled?
The cpd recall letter is posted at the end of February each year with the deadline for submission at the end of May.
4) How often will I have to do a cpd review?
Approximately every 5 years. After submitting a satisfactory cpd review it will be no sooner than 3 years between each recall. Please remember that your cpd record and plan is a personal development tool to track your professional development. Therefore it is something you should maintain on a regular basis.
The next event will be held in Oxford on 30 April 2013.
