| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
Para 1.17 | The Cosmetic Practise Standards Authority (CPSA) aims to safeguard the public and patients who undergo non-surgical cosmetic and hair restoration surgery procedures. We aim to protect the health of patients by improving standards of care through the promotion of good practice and the setting of clinical standards. Through this we also promote the importance of professionalism of practitioners. This includes continual professional development, auditing of results, reporting of complications, emphasising the importance of adequate indemnity, consent and psychological wellbeing of patients. We aim to better inform the public, making them aware of the risks and benefits of treatments. |
| Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts. |
Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
Creation and publication of cosmetic practice standards. High-level standards, created and ratified by independent professionals, highly commended in their respective fields. These standards are published online: Www.cosmeticstandards.org.uk . The practice standards include: Botulinum toxin, Dermal Fillers, Skin rejuvenation (chemical peels and microneedling), LASER treatments and Hair Restoration Surgery. The standards focusing on professionalism, behaviours, consent, indemnity, qualifications and training. These standards were launched in the House of Lords in February 2018, along with our sister charitable organisation-the |
| Joint Council of Cosmetic Practitioners (JCCP) The JCCP, use the CPSA standards to benchmark practitioners against. This symbiotic relationship has the overarching aim to safeguard the public. Moving forward the CPSA hopes to strengthen its ties with the JCCP. To ensure viability moving forward, we plan to develop a financial relationship from JCCP, by which an agreed percentage of of the registrant membership fee is paid to us. This agreement will facilitate the further iterations of the standards, ensuring they are contemporaneous and to include novel treatments that pose risks to the public. We plan to respond to the government consultation on practitioner licensing in the hope to further improve patient and public safety in this industry. |

| Other | The CPSA was started through the recommendations that stemmed from the Keogh Review of Cosmetic Regulation in 2013. The British Association of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons |
(BAPRAS), The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) and British Association of Dermatologists (BAD) are the founding parent organisations who set up the CPSA through philanthropic donations of personnel and meeting venues. A seeding fund facilitated the legal fees to constitute the CPSA. These funds were paid directly on behalf of the CPSA and did transfer through a CPSA bank account.

Para 1.20 | The standards are published online: Www.cosmeticstandards.org.uk and are regarded as the_‘gold standard’_in the industry. These are public and industry facing – shining a light on what clinical standards are required to deliver safe care to patients. The standards were launched in the House of Lords in February 2018, along with our sister charitable organisation - the JCCP. The CPSA and JCCP strongly believe we have raised public awareness of safety issues in the cosmetic industry. Our long term mission is to achieve statutory regulation. A step toward this mission, was the achievement is the passing of the recent passing of the The Botulinum Toxin and Cosmetic Fillers (Children) Act 2021 making it illegal to provide such treatments to under 18s for cosmetic purposes. Our Chair, Mr Alexander Woollard also gave evidence at the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Beauty, Aesthetics and Wellbeing in 2022. This combined approach, of raising public awareness and working with policy makers is protecting patients from harm. |
