Accredited Operator

The IPC’s Accredited Operator Scheme provides advice and support to its members. It is a scheme run for the private parking sector and members are able to gain conditional access to the DVLA Database of registered vehicle keepers under the terms of the IPC’s Accredited Trade Association (ATA) status thereby enabling them to enforce the parking charges that they impose.

All members of the scheme are required to comply with the IPC Code of Practice which contains the need for every site, sign and many documents to be audited by the IPC. Operators are permitted to use the main Uniti logo, the IPC logo, the Independent Appeals Service (IAS) logo and the IPC’s AOS logo. Use of the AOS logo confirms operators are conducting themselves in accordance with the Code of Practice. All Operators who issue parking charges must, as a condition of membership, afford motorists the ability of independent redress through the Independent Appeals Service.

As part of the membership, a monthly webinar is hosted by the IPC. The meeting is chaired by the CEO and will provide members with a platform to air their views, express opinions and ask questions about all aspects of the UK private parking industry.
