Role of the Panel
The Senior Managers' Advisory Panel is part of the Association's Committee Structure. It demonstrates the Association's commitment to represent and support teachers at all levels in the profession and ensures that the policies and deliberations of the Association takes account of the views and perspectives of Senior Promoted members in schools.
In common with other committees, the panel is routinely invited to respond to consultations and their views will inform and support the formation of the final Association response. The view of the Panel is particularly valuable in matters relating to Senior Promoted Staff in schools. The Panel reports annually to Congress where policy is decided and to Council when the Panel believes it appropriate.
