ASSOCIATION OF PROFESSIONAL POLITICAL CONSULTANTS (APPC)- UK

The Association of Professional Political Consultants (APPC) is the self-regulatory body for UK public affairs practitioners. As well as its traditional membership base of consultancies, APPC membership is now available to trade associations, in-house PA teams and individuals.

The APPC has three main roles:

1. To ensure transparency and openness by maintaining a register of political practitioners
2. To enforce high standards by requiring members to adhere to a code of conduct
3. To promote understanding of the public affairs sector, and the contribution made by political practitioners to a properly functioning democracy

APPC’s members are individuals and firms that offers political consultancy services relating to the institutions of UK government (be they central, regional or local) and/or other public bodies. These services may be the principal business of the firm or ancillary to it, provided that they are undertaken for third parties on a commercial basis. Members range in size from sole traders to firms employing over 1,300 public affairs consultants.
