Framework development timeline
The SCoPEd framework was first published in January 2022. Three years later, in 2025, a further update with minor revisions to the language was published. The partnership plans to conduct a comprehensive review every five years to keep the framework current and topical.
All six PCPB partners have adopted the SCoPEd framework and by February 2026 all their membership categories will be fully aligned with the entry standards for each column within the framework. Agreed processes and mechanisms will enable movement between membership categories and SCoPEd columns, where appropriate, for eligible members and registrants who choose to do so.
Each PCPB partner has its own requirements for transitioning between their membership categories aligned to the SCoPEd columns. While the minimum standards will be consistent across all partners, some partners may have additional criteria requirements to transition between columns.
You can contact the individual partners to find out more about this.
The partners who have adopted the SCoPEd framework are:
