The Government should repeal the Conservatives’ anti-union legislation at the earliest opportunity, as part of its plan to make work pay.

Academy trusts and all publicly funded providers of education must be required to employ staff on minimum standards that are set out nationally.

There is an increase in behaviour that challenges, and education staff are bearing the brunt of it.

The government must mandate the incorporation of the National Conditions of Service for Teachers in England and Wales 2023 into the contracts of employment of all teachers in academies.

The exploitative treatment of overseas trained teachers (OTTs) in this country needs to be addressed.
