Chartered Institute of Public Relations to roll out diploma in crisis comms

The masters-level diploma will be taught at CIPR London HQ and will give PR practitioners the skills to respond to threats and challenges to corporate reputation.

Ann Mealor, interim CEO, CIPR said: 'This is an exciting and timely new addition to our qualifications. It will build skills, knowledge and understanding, enabling people in PR to step up to the mark at times of crisis when a clear and authoritative response is required.'
