Members in FE have seen their pay levels drift to a staggering £9k below that of schoolteachers and their counterparts in Sixth Form Colleges.
Staff in further education colleges have a statutory duty to safeguard and promote the welfare of children under the Children Act 2004 in the same way as school staff.
This guidance outlines NEU best practice models for both the conduct of lesson observations and the teaching and learning observation system (TLOS) framework within which they are conducted.
It is important that all staff feel able to speak up and seek support if they feel unsafe or if they face problematic comments, language, or behaviour.
Any qualified teacher, regardless of their position on the main pay range or scale, can apply to move onto the upper pay range or scale.
This guide gives advice on how the pay progression system for classroom teachers works.
Any pay increase for support staff should be backdated to 1st April. We have created model letters for members and branches to use to claim any backdated payment.
NEU members are eligible to stand for election as officers of the Union, members of the executive or members of the annual and special conferences of the Union.
