The National Executive Council is required by the Constitution and Standing Orders to ensure that representation of certain 'interest groups' is ensured. Therefore, in addition to the Officers, each Diocese in England and Wales is intended to be represented.
The Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales has appointed Bishop Peter Doyle, Bishop of Northampton to act in Episcopal Liaison with the Association. He follows Bishop Edwin Regan, Bishop of Wrexham, who has relinquished the role after eleven very fruitful years. The 'interest groups' which are represented include:
Secondary Class Teacher Independent Schools Further or Higher Education Primary/Secondary RE School Chaplain Primary head/Deputy Support staff Secondary head/Deputy Individual/ Retired Primary Head or Deputy Head Secondary Head or Deputy Head Special Schools Individual and Retired Members Diocese
