But don’t worry BII’s main membership package can offer you discounts and advice in all of these areas.

If you are already a BII foundation member and you have now taken a licensing qualification (SCPLH or APLH) or your circumstances have changed and you are now directly concerned with the day-to-day supervision of an outlet, you now have the opportunity to move up to the next grade of membership and access all our member benefits. Discounted Associate membership prices available to Foundation members.

* Discount applicable to members joining after 23rd March 2011

If you are currently in one of these situations please call us on 0800 783 9794/95 or email foundation@bii.org to discuss moving to the next level of membership and receiving our full package of member benefits.
