Most EPs employed in Local Authorities are employed on Soulbury Terms and Conditions, which includes the nationally agreed payscales. These are not statutory, but have been developed over many years of consultation and negotiation by the Soulbury Committee which is made up of the Local Government Association and the recognised Soulbury Trade Unions. The AEP is a member of the Soulbury Committee along with National Education Union and Prospect. The full agreement can be found on the AEP website Soulbury Report. For AEP Members, there are four relevant scales, and every post should be graded on an appropriate range within them. There are other Soulbury scales, but it is only in rare occasions that EPs would find their post being allocated a range on another scale.
