Guide for National Education Union workplace representatives.
Whilst Coronavirus continues to impact education, education professionals and the communities we serve, the below is an update for all NEU workplace reps in how the union continues to respond to the pandemic.
The Covid-19 pandemic has proved just how valuable schools are to children, young people and society.
During the last year, education staff have created new ways to support learning, keep students connected and nurture those who need extra care.
It’s reminded us all how much school contributes to the lives of young people and how much rests on the professional skills of our educators.

That is why the National Education Union (NEU) has launched Value Education, Value Educators, to highlight the concerns of our members, parents and students so that, together, we can change things for the better.
Visit Value Educators to find out more about making a difference in your workplace.

Members may wish to demonstrate how strongly they feel by signing a letter or raising it with the governing body. If you need further support, speak to your branch or region/NEU Cymru.
