🚨 CONSULTATION OPEN! 🚨

👉 If you're a school support staff member in England then you should have received an email this morning asking you to vote in the School Support Staff Negotiating Body (SSSNB) consultation.

💥 It's really important that you vote in the consultation as the SSSNB will negotiate pay, conditions and training for school support staff in all state-funded schools including academies, with a dedicated focus on the priorities and workplace realities of school support staff.

📆The consultation closes at noon on 6 October, but we advise you to vote early and encourage your school support staff colleagues to do the same!

School support staff across Wales keep schools running and support children and young people to learn, thrive and stay safe.

But many struggle to cover basic costs because their annual pay is based on the weeks they work during term time, then spread across the year.

It’s time to end term-time only pay.
