Support staff deserve better
Our Special Conference voted overwhelmingly to scrap outdated limits stopping us from organising non‑union staff.
Because unity works: when educators stand together, we win.
If you’re support staff and not in a union: join the NEU.
Let’s build real power in every school.
On 28 February, we will launch an indicative ballot asking members if they would be prepared to strike over pay, funding and workload.
Chronic underfunding means fewer teaching assistants and larger classes.

The @neunion.bsky.social represents 500,000 educators who stand up for children every day.
If the Education Sec wants better reading outcomes, she should back teachers with time, trust & resources - not more tests. #ValueEducation

Shame on those employers/schools who use "Support Plans" to push out experienced teachers due to them being being higher cost!
Support plans ‘misused’ to ‘force out’ teachers from schools, say campaigners

📉 Fewer teachers, fewer joining, more part-time.
📈 Class sizes rising, experience walking out the door.
📢 The crisis isn’t over.
Real-terms pay cuts & crushing workload are driving staff out.
We need urgent investment to value, recruit & retain teachers. #SaveOurSchools #NEU
The government’s announcement on the teacher pay offer for September still falls short. A pay award that isn’t fully funded means more cuts to staff and resources. Schools deserve better.

Labour’s pledge to recruit 6,500 extra teachers is already under pressure. A new report warns it won’t meet growing demand — with secondary schools and colleges facing worsening shortages.

‘Remember the dead, fight for the living’ on Workers Memorial Day when we remember all those who went out to work and never came home. ✊
Key to keeping people safe at work is a strong, organised union in every workplace.
Yesterday we joined our sister Unions to mark #IWMD2025
We quote Bridget Phillipson’s own words from 2023 back to her:”She told us to wait for the independent pay review body’s recommendations. Those recommendations have been made and now she refuses to publish them. Will she come clean….and publish the recommendations today?” #NEU #FundFairPay
👀Full film on Monday🎬
🚨The story of one school sounding the alarm bells on the impact of 15 years of Government cuts.
⚠️ And one headteacher who is putting out an urgent call to mobilise, so schools across the country have the funding to deliver a quality education.
It’s time to make your voice heard!
Executive elections are LIVE — don’t forget to cast your vote for your district and equalities stand.

The School Teachers’ Review Body (STRB) has made its recommendation and the report is sitting on Bridget Phillipson’s desk. We ask the Education Secretary to publish the report now and fund fair pay for teachers and our schools. #NEU2025 #FundFairPay
🚨 Our preliminary ballot on pay and funding closes at 4pm today!
🤔 Time to set the record straight!
✔️ Lack of classroom resources.
✔️ Not enough new teachers.
And the government’s solution? An unfunded 2.8% pay rise.
