How we work
As both a trade union and a professional body, we work to support our members in a wide variety of ways.
Our Council, committees and boards are made up of elected and appointed members who make sure we represent every one of our members, at every career stage. Our Executive Team is responsible for delivering our ambitious strategy. And our offices across the UK support the activities of our local branches and representatives.
What is governance?
Governance is the system of rules, practices and processes used to direct and control our organisation. Governance tells us who can make decisions, who has the authority to act on behalf of our organisation and who is accountable for how we behave and perform.
Our structure
We're governed by the elected members who make up our Council, committees and boards. They represent our members and work alongside the Executive Team who are responsible for delivering our strategic and operational plans.
