The Work of ACCS
The work of the Association covers three main areas:
Advice and support to schools/industrial relations
National issues – Negotiation/Policy setting and implementation
Research, development and training
The work of the Association is varied and involves a multiplicity of issues at both the level of macro issues at a national level and micro issues that are school specific. There is also a large degree of inter connectivity between both. An issue that is particular to an individual school may have as its consequence implications for all schools nationally.
