About NAMSS
NAMSS are the national voice for student services across post-16 education and training, with more than 220 member institutions, representing nearly 600 individual members across the UK. Established in 1987, we work cross-sector, lobbying and working with government departments and agencies, shaping policy, influencing decision-making, raising standards and informing practice.
For over 30 years NAMSS has continued to grow, develop and engage with its membership to ensure that sharing best practice, developing provision and advising the sector on support services remains at our core.
