SPECIAL CHAIR
REPORT

Update on the latest BACN activities, thoughts,
and key actions for the coming months

Sharon Bennett

The BACN Board agreed unanimously that it should consult its members on a range of issues that
have emerged with regard to the establishment of the Joint Council for Cosmetic Practitioners (JCCP).

It was agreed that the BACN should consult its members by way of a survey.  The results of this
survey are set out in this ‘Special Newsletter’ accompanied by a statement agreed unanimously by
the BACN Board. In producing this statement the BACN Board has looked at the survey results, the

many comments received as part of the survey and also the views expressed by a number of
members directly to the BACN or via other communication and social media channels.
