UNISON’s national schools committee is the voice of school members within the union. It is made up of representatives from across the UK and meets four times a year to discuss education policy issues, campaigning, recruitment and organising UNISON members in schools.
At its last meeting in September the committee discussed a range of issues including:
- campaigns against cuts to tax credits and the unfairness of term-time working;
- UNISON’s success in winning the Living Wage in a growing number of schools;
- professional registration for support staff in Wales
- school meals workers;
- childcare and administration of medicines issues in Scotland;
- the endorsement of Heather Wakefield as a candidate in the upcoming election for UNISON’s general secretary. About the election.
UNISON also has forums and committees for schools members in its regions.
