Royal Charter

A Royal Charter is a formal document issued by a monarch as letters patent, granting a right or power to an individual or a body corporate.

The grant of new Charters is rare, reserved for eminent professional bodies or charities which have a solid record of achievement and are financially sound.

In the case of professional bodies they represent a field of activity which is unique and not covered by other professional bodies.

Royal Charters have perpetual effect.

CICM was awarded a Royal Charter to take effect 1 January 2015.

It is produced as a high-quality work of calligraphy on vellum.
