departments are grouped in five main areas of work: regulation and standards; member services and engagement; education, training and qualifications; external relations; finance and operations. Other departments work within those areas. Policy is developed by teams in external relations and education, training and qualifications. The work of the Society is supported by solicitors and non-solicitors who contribute their time and expertise through many committees and working groups. From 2012 to 2014 the Society went through a process to reform its structures and governance. Some new committees and the management Board were established as part of this governance reform. A consultation on the composition and election of the council was held and a new constitution drafted.
