Subscription information you can trust


At CIPD Publishing we've listened to your feedback and produced a range of tailored subscription Information Services to suit your needs.

Whatever your industry sector or size, we can provide you with the necessary practical, technical and legal information you need to check, design, plan and implement in your role.

Not only are our Subscription Information Services better value than many other manuals and products available, but they are also easier to use because they are designed specifically for HR and people managers.

You don’t need to be an IT expert to use our online content either, and the online service is included in the subscription price - for no extra charge!

What's included in the price? 
All of our subscription products come with the following:

  • An easy to use manual – containing commentary, sample documents, checklists, forms and much more.
  • A detailed index – so you can find what you want quickly and easily.
  • Full online access – as part of your subscription. All forms and documents are available to download and adapt. Includes sample documents, letters, checklists and much more.
  • Practical content – written in a clear, concise, readable style.
  • Advice from expert authors – each product is written by a team of authors and draws on a wealth of specialist knowledge. Accurate – updated throughout the year, so you can be sure you are up to speed with recent developments.

You can even evaluate the CIPD's Subscription Information Services for 28 days before payment is due, to ensure that your chosen product meets your requirements, without making an initial payment.

To do this, simply proceed through the ordering process, then when asked for your payment details, select 'Invoice with product' from the drop-down menu.  After 28 days you can then choose to keep and pay for your product using the accompanying invoice, or return it to us in accordance with the enclosed terms and conditions.
