Administrative history
The Academic Board began life as the 'Training and Registration Board', ratified by the Council of the College at the AGM on 30 May 1964. The Terms of Reference for the Board were:
"1. To maintain a Register of the Members of the College; Schools of Training; Students in Training
- To report regularly to Council on the Proceedings of the Board
- To promote and maintain a high standard of professional training
- To keep informed of developments in higher education and in professional training
- To promote for the membership of the College facilities for further studies and research
- To form a panel of advisers from the profession of Speech Therapy and allied disciplines."
The name of the Board was changed to the 'Academic Board' at a meeting of 29 Mar 1972 when the Terms of Reference were revised (RCSLT/5/1/2).
The 'Academic Board' was restructured in 1976 with the establishment of the 'Academic & Registration Board' from 01 May 1976, to which the functions of the Academic Board were transferred. The inaugural meeting of the Academic & Registration Board was 04 Jun 1976.
The name informally reverted back to the 'Academic Board' on 26 Mar 1992.
