Professional Policies & Standards
Our Mission
The work of the Professional Policies & Standards working group is crucial to the development of the P-O-P industry as it aims to provide POPAI UK & Ireland with policies and guidelines to encourage POPAI members to maintain the highest standards of professional conduct. The continued development of standards of practice within our industry can only be carried out with the input of our members.
Our Work
The group is responsible for the implementation of the current POPAI Standards of Practice as well as other industry standards and guides. Here's a list of recent documents available now - click on the document title to download:

Free Legal Helpline
POPAI is pleased to offer this major members’ benefit - a free on-line legal information service exclusive to all UK and Ireland members.
The service is designed to provide members with initial legal commentary on any legal issue affecting their business - though we stress it is not a substitute for full contractual legal advice.
We believe the service will be of help in weighing-up how to proceed and as a ‘sounding board’ before perhaps launching into what can be expensive and time consuming litigation.
The electronic legal helpline is managed by POPAI’s lawyers, Veale Wasbrough Lawyers. Use the helpline here
