NEU member benefits

The National Education Union is run by its members for its members. Get involved in your union and you can help determine policy, play a key role in campaigning, attend events and conferences, and support your colleagues with issues at work. 

Campaigns

The NEU is a campaigning union with a clear vision of what our education system should look like. You can get involved and together, we can shape the future of education for the benefit of teachers, support staff, leaders and pupils.

Equality

Equality is a key priority of the union, to ensure that its members have a voice in the union, in the classroom and in broader society, and do not face barriers to promotion, representation or participation. We believe that all children and young people should have equal access to a good school and an education system which treats staff and those they teach fairly.
