Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, CPDaccreditation. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Professional development, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template);
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. — Trey Maturin™ 17:09, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

Hey Trey,

I appreciate you feel that there might be a conflict of interest however the listing as is, is biased to The CPD Standards Office. There are three main CPD Accreditation services in the UK, they are The CPD Certification Service (CPD UK), The CPD Group and The CPD Standards Office.

Also, there is an independent register (The CPD Register) that lists accredited Training Providers, Activities and Trainers to make accreditation transparent for the consumer in an unregulated industry.

Furthermore, the "sources" within the Continuing section by Campbell Collaboration is misleading as this is CPD for "children and young people" which is who CPD is aimed at. CPD is for those that have the initial education, i.e. a degree and then use CPD to keep this learning up to date. So saying there is little evidence of effectiveness makes it sounds like its across all generations which i find also misleading. CPDaccreditation (talk) 07:36, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
