We need to see an overhaul of the curriculum so that every student is taught a whole compliment of subjects playing to all strengths and interests.

Independent sector employers need to do far better by support staff. The NEU will campaign to make sure they do.

With a lack of funding and cuts to staff, the post-16 sector has been treated badly for years.

Teachers and support staff are regularly paying to help disadvantaged pupils in their care.

The rise of mental health issues among students and the challenges in accessing support services.

Seven in eight respondents tell us the SEND resources they do have are insufficient.

The NEU will continue putting pressure on the Government to live up to its commitments to reduce workload and working hours

The NEU will work with other support staff Unions to ensure that all support staff receive the respect and renumeration that they so clearly deserve.

SATs are not a useful or accurate way of assessing what children can do.

Expecting teachers to work for free is not acceptable. No teacher should be required to undertake additional responsibilities without appropriate TLRs. .
