IPPN

When a principal joins IPPN, the location of the school determines the county network to which the principal/ deputy principal belongs. In Autumn each year, each County Network elects two members to act as its representatives to the National Council. Two Representatives from each of the 26 County Networks thus form a 52-person National Council. The IPPN National Council elects Directors at its AGM each year to manage the affairs of the organisation. These Directors are collectively referred to as the Board of Directors.

The role of the 2 County Network Representatives on the National Council

• To ensure effective two-way communication between the National Council and the County Network
• To communicate the key professional issues and concerns of the County Network to the National Council
• To report the decisions, policies and activities of the National Council to each County Network
• To assist the Board of Directors through participating in focus groups established to research & develop IPPN policy, good practice and professional guidelines.
