Chinara Enterprises is proud to announce that today , Wednesday 17th March 2021, we were successful in gaining accreditation of Provider of Training Excellence (PTE), from the Professional Development Consortium (PDC).
This accreditation has been awarded as a result of a rigorous assessment of our learning and development activities and services for individuals and organisations, as well as our processes.
The PDC supports all those involved in providing continual professional development (CPD) and work with the Provider of Training Excellence organisation in assessing providers of training as well as courses, to ensure they are meeting the required professional standards.
The consortium was developed from a research project based at Kingston University Business school.
The PTE accreditation is a significant achievement for Chinara Enterprises , as it demonstrates our commitment as a company to maintaining excellence in what we do. As we enter our 13th year as a business, and given the significant challenges the world has faced this past year, we could not be prouder of what we have achieved.
The accreditation shows that we:
- Ensure our content is of high quality and is developed from trusted resources. We work with subject matter experts to develop our learning and development material.
- We follow processes adopted by sector leaders in training & learning
- Our commitment to providing an outstanding learning experiences for all of our learners and customers
- Are committed to ensuring that our learners are able to measure impact as a result of our learning and development activities
As a customer, whether you are an individual, corporate client, member or non member, this will provide you with assurance of the quality of the learning and development we provide.
Our company will be required to undergo re accreditation every 2 years, to ensure that we continue to meet the PDC standards.
What does this mean for our customers ?
It means that our customers no matter who they are can be assured of excellent service. When you attend any of our learning and development events, your certificate will bear the PTE logo, which provides assurance of the quality of our learning, which learners can show to employers, as well as add to your CPD portfolio.
We would like to thank all of our customers past and present, as well as our team of associates, Chinara Enterprises team, partners, clients who have worked with us over the past 13 years , without whom we would not have achieved this.
We look forward to working the PDC team on maintaining our accreditation and promoting high quality CPD for all !

CPD hot topic !
We are really pleased to be launching an important seminar on the Liberty Protection Safeguards.
This is an essential briefing to gain an insight into the key legislative changes regarding mental capacity.
We have one of the leading lawyers Tim Spencer Lane, speaking at this seminar, with a Q and A.
Date: Tuesday 20th April 2021
Time: 6pm-7.30 pm
In July 2018, the government published a Mental Capacity (Amendment) Bill, which passed into law in May 2019. It replaces the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) with a scheme known as the Liberty Protection Safeguards
This seminar will provide an overview of the following:
- Background to the LPS – why they were introduced and key principles
- What types of arrangements can be authorised and by whom?
- The authorisation process
- The key safeguards – including rights to advocacy and the Court of Protection
- Other features of the LPS – including interim authorisations and the Mental Health Act interface
- Next steps – the public consultation on the Code and regs, and transitional arrangements
Facilitator: Tim Spencer Lane
Tim is a lawyer who specialises in mental capacity, mental health, and social care law. He works for the Government Legal Department (Department of Health and Social Care) where he advises on mental capacity and mental health law.
At the Law Commission, Tim led the review of the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards under the Mental Capacity Act 2005.
