ADMINISTRATION

Pressures by new parents to achieve greater outcomes for their children has meant many policies have had to be looked at to ensure that complaints and general questions can be answered consistently across the board and not reliant on who gets asked the question. This type of process puts great pressure on association volunteers and on existing by-laws and policies.
