Membership that fits how your team works.
Community is free forever — forum, resources, Ideas Hub, Regional Hub, and more. Professional unlocks the working hubs: casework, exports, and census-linked analytics across Support First, Compliance, and Benchmarking & reports. Community opens when you finish your profile; schools, trusts, and local authorities get Professional tools after a short organisation check (a work email usually helps). Independent and other organisations start a 7-day Professional trial straight away.
Paid licences and platform fees are subject to our Terms of Purchase and Privacy Policy.
Free Community membership
Community opens when you finish your profile — no payment required. Forum, resource library, CPD log, member directory, Ideas Hub, Regional Hub (local feed, events, regional attendance context), browsing expert answers, and standard-price events stay free. It is free because a strong peer network benefits the whole sector.
Professional membership
Professional membership funds the platform and unlocks the attendance workplace — casework in Support First and Compliance; exports from letters, plans, governor and SLT reports, and compliance outputs; census-linked analytics in Benchmarking & reports. Plus ask an expert, member event pricing, and group licences for schools, trusts, and local authorities. Schools, trusts, and LAs need organisation verification before Professional tools (or a paid / group seat); independent and other organisations get an immediate 7-day trial.
Membership licence options
Suppliers, trainers and event organisers
Partner Directory and event calendar promotion are separate from practitioner membership. Create a free Community account to submit a listing or event for admin review. Eligible non-profit organisations pay no promotion fee. For-profit promotion uses paid listing tiers on our commercial page. Paid Professional members save 25% on those fees.
Member discounts on CPD and events
Professional members receive a 50% discount on all online training materials/webinars, and a 25% discount with priority booking for our in-person conferences and events.
