The AGM Notice and member fee papers were updated on Thursday 8 May 2025 to make corrections to two member categories:
- The newly registered discount was correctly stated as 35% however the monetary value assigned to the 35% was incorrectly stated (2025-2026 fees £201.87/£16.82, yearly difference -£21.15, monthly difference -£1.77).
- The Associate Apprentice percentage increase was incorrectly stated as +3% (now +4.5%). The monetary values remain the same.

Submit questions
You can submit questions in advance of the AGM by emailing Odeth Richardson, Chair at hello@rcot.co.uk Please use 'AGM' in the subject line of your email.
- We're focusing on responding to questions submitted by email so we won't be responding to questions for the AGM via social media.
- We’ll share answers to questions received in advance on this page and will update these regularly, recognising some questions may take longer to respond to.
- Where questions cover similar topics, we may group them together.
- We won’t include the name of the person who asked the question unless we’re specifically asked to do that.
There is also significant time allocated to Q&A during the AGM itself and we'll respond to as many questions as possible during this time.
