Association of Educational Psychologists

History

The following is a brief account of some of the important milestones in the history of the Association:

The Association was founded in 1962.
At the end of its first year of existence it had about 300 members, which then represented approximately 90% of the profession.
The Association was granted a Certificate of Independence by the Trades Union Certification Officer in 1989.
In 1993 the Association appointed a nationally elected, full-time General Secretary.
In 1997 the Association purchased office premises at 26 The Avenue, Durham for use as its administrative headquarters.
After many years as an affiliate association of the National Union of Teachers, the AEP became a totally independent trade union in 1998.
A change to its Constitution and Rules in 2002 enabled the Association to offer membership to most educational psychologists who qualified and practised in Scotland.
