<youtube size="medium" align="right" caption="[[Robbie MacDuff]], then chair of the '''APPC''', speaks in Manchester September 2008">fdAVP1Q3JO8</youtube>The [[Association of Professional Political Consultants]] is a lobby group for the lobbying profession. Its main function is to prevent openness and transparency by attempting to ensure that statutory regulation is not introduced in the UK.  To this end, APPC worked alongside the [[Chartered Institute of Public Relations]] and [[Public Relations Consultations Association]] in the formation of an umbrella organisation to promote self-regulation in the industry: the [[UK Public Affairs Council]], launched in July 2010.   

APPC has a Scottish branch - [[APPC Scotland]].
