National Council Representatives

The membership of IPPN is organised into 31 City/County Networks, based on the boundaries of the thirty-one City, County and City & County Councils. Each member belongs to the City/County Network in which their school is situated. Each City/County Network has three representatives on our National Council, meaning the Council has a total of 93 representatives on it drawn from all parts of the country and all school contexts.

Each of the three representatives from every City/County Network serves on one of the three committees of the National Council so that they can become more involved in, and directly impact, the work of IPPN. The committees are as follows:
