Open the login form – type in your username and click ‘lost your password?’ and you will be sent an email inviting you to create a new password.

Please be aware that it can sometimes take a bit of time for that email to arrive. And if it does not arrive into your inbox, please check your spam or junk mail box.
If you find it in your spam or junk mail box, please update your settings to make sure that emails from CPN website arrive safely in the future.

If the email with the link to create a new password does not arrive, please get in touch using the form below

If you want to receive an email to let you know that a new post has been added to CPN Blog, the ‘subscribe to blog’ option should work for you. Add your email address into the text box in the bottom right hand corner of the site and click submit to set up that subscription service (and just in case you were wondering, it’s as quick and easy to unsubscribe to this service – if and when you decide that you don’t want to receive email updates any more).

If the thought of having an automated update arrive every time a new post is added to the blog feels a bit overwhelming, why not set up an RSS (really simple syndication) feed? You’ll find an explanation of how RSS feeds work and some practical advice to help you set up an RSS feed in a way that works for you and the device/software you’re using here (with thanks to colleagues at CSP for providing this information). If you decide to set up an RSS feed – click on the orange radio icon in the footer (bottom of the site) and follow the prompts.
