Struggling schools forced to rely on teaching assistants as cheap cover for teachers - UNISON...
Ministers are entirely responsible for the funding crisis that's putting schools in this impossible position.
Our latest leaflet encourages school support staff to become members of UNISON, the largest trade union in the UK. As one of the three NJC unions, UNISON has the power to negotiate your pay and conditions. shop.unison.site/product/2024-s…
Such disparity in pay rises is "particularly disheartening for support staff who have critical roles working directly with pupils but are paid so little”.

More than 7 in 10 senior leaders reported TAs leaving their school because they can earn more in another job, in a new report from the National Foundation for Educational Research. Reform of support staff pay is urgently needed.
This chimes with what @unisontheunion has been saying about the crisis in school support staff recruitment and retention. Better pay and professional development needed.@UNISONinSchools Expand teacher recruitment plan to include support staff, says NFER schoolsweek.co.uk/expand-teacher…
A shocking new report finds the majority of heads (82%) say some of their TAs are taking second jobs to boost their income during the cost of living crisis, while 70% report TAs are quitting outright in favour of better paid jobs in shops or hospitality. We need urgent action…

Keeping children safe is never a waste of money. Proper investment at the right time could have averted the school building crisis we are facing this week. Now pupils and staff are facing months of disruption.
❗Exclusive: At least 11 schools that had 'waste of money' rebuilds scrapped by Michael Gove when the Conservatives came into power in 2010 have closed because they have 'crumbly' concrete, a Schools Week investigation suggests #RAAC schoolsweek.co.uk/revealed-the-r…
Rishi Sunak HALVED the budget for repairing dangerous schools when he was chancellor in 2021. Meanwhile... Gillian Keegan authorised a £34 MILLION revamp of her offices in April 2023.
UNISON has been lobbying the government for months to take action on this issue. "The DfE and government have squandered valuable months hiding this crisis when they should have been fixing dangerous school buildings."
School buildings in England made with a certain type of concrete that is prone to collapse will be immediately closed over safety fears, the government has announced. UNISION union says the situation is is 'nothing short of a scandal'. 👉 trib.al/NtU9tyt 📺 Sky 501
Closing ticket offices can turn a safe journey into no journey at all.
🎙️ Listen to @unisontheunion's head of education, Mike Short, on the latest school buildings safety scandal. The DfE have squandered valuable months hiding the crisis when they should have been fixing dangerous school buildings. This could just be the tip of the iceberg.
