About the SEC

The Society has two primary - and mutually complementary - functions:

  • To meet the professional and developmental needs of education
    consultants, and;
  • To help potential clients to find the right education consultant for
    their needs;

The Society was founded in 1990 in response to the emerging market in education services. It now provides a one stop shop to individuals, education and children’s services managers and governors, whether in schools, LEAs, higher education establishments, or other institutions looking for high quality professional help and support. Our 140 or so members provide the high-quality and highly skilled pool of talent needed to provide that support. All our Members work to a strict Code of Practice that provides a benchmark for their integrity and the quality of their work.

Our membership encompasses consultants who work as individuals, in partnerships, in small companies or in association with larger consultancies or organisations right across the education and children’s services sectors. We provide them with a showcase for their services and with various support services.

The Society's affairs are managed through a small elected committee and by our paid General Secretary. You can find out more about the services and details about the Society elsewhere on this site. We look forward to welcoming new members, to serving our current membership, and to catering for the needs of existing and prospective users in the education sector.
