Council consists of seven Councillors, of which four represent the UK, one represents Ireland, one represents Belgium and one represents the Netherlands. In addition there are two Trainees Councillors.

All Councillors are expected to attend two Council meetings per year (usually in London) and expenses will be reimbursed. Councillors have to represent the views of our members and assist with the organisation of meetings and other activities of the Division.
