|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.|

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.
## **Achievements and Performance**

|---|---|---|
|Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|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.|
