We have 4 different types of Member that can be applied for here at the BDIAP. Depending on your status you can apply for either Foundation, Trainee, Affiliate or Ordinary Membership. You can find more information and prices on the different types of Membership here.

Once you become a Member of the BDIAP, you will receive a confirmation email, which will obtain a link to the Member’s Area. Don’t forget to reset your password for the first time!

Your membership is non-transferable. For GDPR purposes we do not advise you to share your login information with anyone else.

Your username will usually be the email address you registered for Membership with. If you are unsure of what this may be, please contact us so we can confirm this with you. If you have forgotten your password, you can always reset this on the login page. 

If you are experiencing any issues logging in, please contact us by email to let us know, including as much information as possible of the issues you are experiencing.

Only Ordinary Members of the BDIAP can sponsor Membership applications. As the applicant, you will need to request permission from the sponsor/s directly and input their name and email address (associated with their BDIAP Member record) into the application form.  

This happens when the email address input in the form does not match the email address on our system. Your sponsor/s will need to contact the administrative team directly to double check their email address. Please note, for GDPR reasons we are unable to share personal information with anyone other than the Member themselves.

As a sponsor, once the potential Member has submitted their application, you will be sent an email notifying that you are a nominator or seconder for the applicant. This gives you the option to either support the application (by taking no action) or withdraw your support within 3 days. After this time, the application will then proceed to the next stage, where nothing further is required from you.

You will firstly need to log into your Member’s Area. Once logged, click on the ‘Manage Profile’ link to update your personal information. Please note, email addresses are considered vital information and you will need to contact the administration team to have this changed.

You will need to log into your Member's Area and on your 'Manage Profile' page there will be options to opt in or out of receiving Event and Newsletter Notifications. 

To update/change your bank account details you will need to contact the administrative team. They will then upload a blank direct debit instruction form to the ‘Resources’ page in your Member’s Area, which you will need to print, complete and sign by hand (banks will not accept electronic signatures), scan and reupload it back to your ‘Resources’ page for processing.

You can update your Membership Category via the ‘Manage Subscriptions’ page in your Member’s Area. If you are changing your Membership Category after the subscription renewal period, the new Membership fee will not be charged until the next year.

No further login to Wiley is required for either of these methods.

Membership expires on the 31^st of December each year and is renewed automatically (for direct debit payers) in the first few weeks of January. If you pay by card online, an email notification will be sent to you one week before payment is due and then on the day payment is due.

You can log into your Member’s Area and go to either ‘Manage Subscriptions’ or ‘View Payment History’. Your annual payment amount will not change unless you update your Membership Category/journal preferences.

If you renew your Membership by card payments online, an email notification will be sent to you one week prior to the renewal date and then again on the renewal date. The same goes for those who pay by direct debit, you will receive two notifications of when your bank account is due to be debited. 

If you pay by card and your direct debit has failed and you have not renewed your Membership by the 1^st February, a 1^st email reminder will be sent to you and your Membership will be officially overdue.

If you have not renewed your Membership by the 1^st of March, you will still be overdue, and a 2^nd email reminder will be sent to you.

If you have not renewed your Membership by the 1^st April, an email warning will be sent to you and your access to your Member’s Area is also suspended.  

If you have cancelled your direct debit with the BDIAP, we will receive a notification via our BACS system. 

We will then contact you via email to confirm if you still wish to remain a Member, as all Active Members need to have a valid payment method attached to their record. 

If we have not heard from you after 3 attempts of contact (6 weeks), we will automatically cancel your Membership with the BDIAP. 

If you have accidently cancelled your direct debit with the BDIAP, we will still receive a notification and make contact with you.

You can reinstate your direct debit within 2 months of cancelling it with your bank (dependent on who you bank with). Please contact your bank and ask them to do this for you, alternatively you should be able to reinstate the direct debit via online or telephone banking.

When your account is suspended you will no longer be able to access your Member's Area, Member materials or Member pages of the website.

The only page that will be available in your Member’s Area will be the ‘View Payment History’ page, where you can renew your Membership and be able to access Member content again.

Please note, if you do not renew your annual subscription by the 1^st October, your Membership will be terminated, and you will have to reapply by completing a new application form online. Please note, we charge a £50 fee to all those re-joining our society

Once your account has been suspended, you will no longer have access to your journal/s subscriptions. To access your journal/s again, you will need to renew your BDIAP Membership by logging into your Member’s Area and going straight to the ‘View Payment History’ page.  

If you wish to re-join the BDIAP, you can do so by logging into your Member's Area (if applicable) and following the instructions on screen. If you do not have a login, please contact the Administrative team. Please note, we charge a £50 fee to all those re-joining our society.
