AoC’s Public Affairs Team works on behalf of member colleges to develop and maintain strong relationships with all political parties.

We:

  • Work to secure key representation for our member colleges across legislation and decision makers.
  • Maintain and build upon good contacts with key MPs.
  • Suggest Parliamentary Questions.
  • Submit written evidence to select committees.
  • Produce briefings for MPs to inform debates in both Houses.

In addition, we brief principals on how to manage their relationship with their local MPs and advise on opportunities to speak directly to MPs on issues that concern them.
