Get involved

The best membership associations involve and engage members. That’s why we encourage all TIOB members to contribute ideas, blogs, articles and content or join committees, set up sub-groups or local networks. As well as a dedicated staff team, TIOB is run by its members for its members.

To encourage engagement and involvement, we will be holding the TIOB World Boarding Staff Day on the first Monday of March every year which will celebrate the huge contribution made by thousands of people who work in boarding schools.

Recognising excellence

As well as giving boarding staff professional recognition for the first time, TIOB will also honour the excellent service and dedication of its members. That’s why we will be launching the annual TIOB Boarding Staff Awards which will be announced at the annual TIOB/BSA Boarding Conference in June each year.

Annual Boarding Conference 2027

Boarding never stands still. Neither should we.

Join colleagues from across the sector in Brighton on February 2-3 for the Annual Boarding Conference, delivered in collaboration with BSA.

This year’s programme covers some of the biggest issues facing boarding today, including leadership, safeguarding, wellbeing, inclusion and the changing world our young people are growing up in.

Alongside the conference sessions, there will be plenty of opportunities to exchange ideas, reconnect with colleagues and celebrate success at the BSA Supporting Excellence Awards Dinner.
