The UKPCA manages a voluntary scheme for issuing press/media credentials, known as the UK Press Card, to professional newsgatherers working in the UK. It is wholly owned and collectively controlled by the UK's major media organisations, industry associations, trade unions and professional associations, the "gatekeepers" of the scheme. In evidence, UKPCA told the Inquiry that the sole purpose of the UK Press Card scheme was to provide a secure, standardised identity photo-card for professional newsgatherers working in the UK.
WAPI offered evidence as a professional investigator body, helping members of the public, the legal profession and business and corporate clients to find credible professional investigators. Submitted documentation of its conferences and work with clients.
