Members
The AEP is a member organisation - so its members are the heart of the association. The structure is designed to ensure the association works together and moves forward in line with members' priorities. We hold an Annnual General Meeting, usually in November where members can submit motions to determine the association's policy and campaigning priorities.

National Executive Committee
This is an elected body of AEP members, which oversees the policy and business of the AEP. 
This comprises: 8 officers elected by the whole membership (including a trainee and newly qualified EP) and 10 regional representatives elected by regions.

The NEC meet approximately 6 times a year as a whole, to discuss important issues. 

Local Representatives
All members are encouraged to nominate a local representative in their service or area  - to act as a spokesperson during interactions with employers and in local negotiations, and to ensure local issues are raised with the National Executive.

AEP Branches
Local members may wish to form branches - to create a forum and structure in order to discuss more local issues and make formal decisions and network at this level. There are currently two active branches of the AEP.

AEP Staff
Most of the day to day work of the Association is carried out by its employees, including administrative, communications, finance, legal and professional work, including case work. The General Secretary is an employee of the AEP & is elected every four years.

Journal
The AEP's esteemed academic journal, Educational Psychology in Practice is published quarterly - while the NEC have ultimate responsibility for its production, it is overseen by an elected editorial board.
