Following the close of nominations for two ‘Ordinary Members’ of the Editorial Board, we are pleased to announce the election of existing board members, Will Shield and Lata Ramoutar. Their new term will commence on the 1st August 2024 for a term of 3 years.

These nominations were received unopposed, with support from AEP members so an election will not be held. Members of the Editorial Board are pleased to welcome Will and Lata back to their roles and appreciate their ongoing contribution to the success of Educational Psychology in Practice journal.

The role of the Editorial Board is to manage the production and development of the Association’s journal Educational Psychology in Practice and to assist the Editor by acting as anonymous referees in respect of submitted papers. As part of their duties Ordinary Members of the Editorial Board are expected to read and offer a written critique of articles submitted for publication. Final decisions concerning publication rest with the Editor, but a high premium is placed on collaborative working.
