By consulting with our members we are able to represent and reinforce their views by:
- Lobbying policy makers in government departments and agencies
- Undertaking regular research activity
- Holding timely and issue-driven conferences and seminars
- Publishing special reports and good practice guides
- Writing articles and opinion pieces for publication in the media

We also work closely with employers, government departments and national and regional agencies.
