SASC Membership

SASC welcomes professionals as members: individuals and organisations who demonstrate support of the objectives of SASC through their professional activities.

There are three types of membership:

Associate Membership
Individuals who demonstrate they have some ongoing involvement with the activities of SASC as set out in the Memorandum of Association. All holders of a current SpLD Assessment Practising Certificate (APC) will be considered Associate Members of SASC.

Individuals wishing to apply for an APC should contact their professional body. On initial application for an SpLD APC your issuing body will ask your consent to share details with SASC in order to activate your SASC Associate Membership. The annual fee for associate membership is included in your APC contribution to SASC [currently £10 per annum]. You may choose to opt out of Associate Membership by contacting your professional body or SASC, info@sasc.org.uk.

Associate members will have access to SASC newsletters, an opportunity to contribute to the development of SASC, reduced rates to SASC conferences, a listing on the SASC website as assessors, and other benefits which the board, from time to time, may determine.

Full Membership
Qualified individuals who demonstrate support of the objectives of SASC through their professional activities, as determined by the SASC board. Holders of an SpLD Assessment Practising Certificate may upgrade to full membership by completing an application form, describing their professional roles and how they support SASC’s objectives. The annual fee for Full Membership is £35.

Members will have full voting rights, access to the SASC newsletters, reduced rates to SASC conferences, an opportunity to contribute to the development of SASC and other benefits which the board, from time to time, may determine.

Corporate membership
Is suitable for organisations, institutions or companies which demonstrate through their aims and activities support of the objectives of SASC. Application is through completion of a form which provides a statement of their organisational objectives and mission and describes how these will lend support to SASC. Annual fee for Corporate Membership is £100.

Corporate Members will have access to SASC newsletters, reduced rates to SASC conferences for two individuals, an opportunity to contribute to the development of SASC and other benefits which the board, from time to time, may determine.
