Meet the ASP Interest Group
The ASP (Accredited Service Provider) Special Interest Group operates under the IPC Steering Committee, focusing on the development and refinement of standards within the debt resolution process. Comprising senior representatives from IPC accredited ASP members, the group reviews Code of Practice changes that impact debt recovery, ensuring they are effective and workable in practice. It undertakes projects specific to debt resolution, identifies sector-wide challenges, and promotes best practices. The group also supports education for operators, service providers, and motorists, and serves as a representative voice for the wider ASP members of the IPC. The Chairperson sits on both ASP Group and Steering Committee meetings, acting as the link between the two.

The Steering Committee includes the CEO of the IPC, the IPC’s Head of Membership, and the IPC’s Head of Compliance, alongside sector industry leaders. Sitting above the three special interest groups: The AOS Interest Group, The ASP Interest Group, and The Tech Group, the Steering Committee sets the strategic direction, while the special interest groups focus on the finer details.

The International Parking Community (IPC) is a DVLA Accredited Trade Association (ATA) representing organisations in the parking sector from both the public and private sectors. As a trade association and lobby group for industry professionals, the IPC's accreditation by the DVLA allows its Accredited Operator Scheme (AOS) members to access DVLA registered keeper data to enforce parking charges. Members must comply with the sector Code of Practice. The IPC regularly audits its members’ signs, sites and appeals.
We ensure our members uphold standards when they install signage to inform motorists how to be compliant and subsequently when pursuing non-compliant motorists. This includes mandating access to an independent adjudicator should the motorist wish to appeal a parking charge.
The IPC’s ensures access to an independent appeals service. For members of the IPC, the appeals service is the Independent Appeals Service (IAS).
Learn more about the IAS below.
Please note: The IPC are a Trade Association, not a regulatory body. This means that whilst we will address concerns raised about our members’ working practices that are not in compliance with the Code of Practice, we will not deal with complaints about individual parking charges. If you wish to appeal a parking charge, you must do this first to the operator, then, if not satisfied, to the IAS. If you wish to complain about the practices of a member, please see our complaints page.
Standards:
Our priority is to maintain high standards and conduct within the private parking sector. We ensure our members can manage sites in an effective way, whilst making the terms clear for motorists. This ensures motorists can park where they need to when accessing the NHS, local high street and other facilities. We also ensure motorists are given the opportunity to appeal, should they feel a parking charge has been issued in error or outside of the Code of Practice.
About the IPC
Governance:
Our Mission & Our Work
The IPC exists to build public trust in the private parking sector by upholding clear, robust standards and holding our members to account. The IPC ensures its members follow the Code of Practice that defines how parking should be managed fairly, transparently and consistently, with the needs of motorists, landowners and communities at its heart. Through accreditation, compliance monitoring and independent appeals, we work to ensure that private parking enforcement is proportionate, professional and aligned with public expectations.
Alongside standards and oversight, the IPC plays an active role in representing the sector to government, regulators and stakeholders. We engage constructively with policymakers, contribute evidence and insight to inform regulation, and advocate for a framework that supports effective parking management while protecting motorists. By combining high standards with informed lobbying and collaboration, our mission is to support a well-regulated, trusted private parking sector that works.
Reports
The AOS (Accredited Operator Scheme) Special Interest Group operates under the IPC’s Steering Committee, providing detailed review and operational insight into proposed changes to the Code of Practice. Comprising management-level representatives from IPC accredited operators, the group ensures that regulatory developments are practical and effective at ground level. Its members identify issues arising from evolving technologies, share best practices, and promote educational initiatives for operators and motorists. The group also undertakes operator-focused projects, develops operational standards, and represents the wider AOS membership. The Chairperson sits on both AOS and Steering Committee groups, acting as the link between the two.
