One of the main objectives of the College's Charter is “to promote public education”. The Public Education Committee, which was established in 1986, and is now a Special Committee of Council, has been actively promoting media coverage of College policy, materials for the general public, new research and information about good practice in psychiatry. A large part of the work of the Public Education Committee involves media activity, such as regular press releases, press conferences and responding on a daily basis to the growing number of media enquiries from all over the world.
