title: Attitudes to personal professional profiles: are they friends or foe?
abstract: This article investigates the attitudes of a group of teaching staff to the value and use of personal professional profiles (PPPs) in relation to the UKCC's requirements for periodic re-registration (UKCC, 1994). The data for the study were gathered using a postal questionnaire (65 of which were returned from a distribution of 200). Analysis of the questionnaires provided insight into how PPPs were regarded by the target group and raised some interesting questions about the future of 'Standards for Education and Practice Following Registration' (UKCC, 1994). A further study is planned to build upon the findings made in this preliminary investigation.
