So, how do we attract you to work with your membership body?

Council approved the Membership & Communication

Board’s recommendation that the ‘Associate’ category

should not be extended until more data had been collected

on the number of support workers and their support

needs.

How do you and I make sure that RCSLT is a relevant, responsive, appropriate membership body for you?
