ACCESS
CIP can be explored in different ways depending on your role, your needs, and the level of engagement required. Some materials are public. Other routes involve certification, structured access, or provision through Creation Rights.
How access works
CIP is designed to support more than one type of participant. Some visitors may be looking for public guidance and basic understanding. Others may need certification, institutional access, policy materials, or recognised status within the framework.
