Governance Handbook

This Psychological Society of Ireland Governance Handbook outlines the Society's guidelines for governance and best practice. The Handbook is designed to give clear information to all members and employees on the codes of conduct and procedures; to create a culture where processes are transparent and where issues are dealt with equitably, timely and consistently.


The information contained in the Handbook applies to all PSI activities at the time of writing. It supersedes all other documents relating to governance matters, including previous terms of reference and protocols. The contents of the Handbook shall not constitute nor be construed as a promise of or as a contract between the PSI and any of its members or employees.

This Handbook, along with the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Society and the Code of Ethics, forms the overall governance of the PSI. It will be kept under review by the PSI Council and may be amended from time to time by agreement of Council.

Members and employees are responsible for reading, understanding, and complying with the provisions of the Governance Handbook. It will be available in the member’s and governance area of the PSI website here.
