Absolutely love that line: ‘Women should be at the table, not on the menu’!

Helen seconding motion 26 'Reducing workload and improving staff wellbeing in education' #STUC26

The Scottish Government can no longer ignore the devastating impact of unsustainable workload on teacher health and wellbeing and the lifelong impact on children's future success.

The hall is starting to fill up.

Looking forward to 3 days in Dundee amplifying the voices of Scotland's workers. ✊️✊️

An excellent turn out for the Aberdeen Unity rally today.

Listening to one of our members deliver this powerful speech was definitely one of the highlights.
👏👏👏👏

Tremendous stuff. Embarrassing that my home city has a few fascists running around but there were a pathetic few of the pathetic fools today, by the look of things. #RefugeesWelcome

The election in Hungary showed that the Orban administration was funding right wing commentators in the UK - we really need a national approach to restore trust in online information, especially for our kids. Find out more about the NASUWT Scotland manifesto here: www.nasuwt.org.uk/static/b9d70...

Graham Thomson, of the International School of Aberdeen, wins UK Recruiter of the Year AND Morag Mcdonald, of Buchanan High School, wins UK Representative of the Year at the NASUWT Annual Conference. Fantastic work by both, suitably recognised!

National Executive Member, Nik James, proposes the flagship Scotland Motion on Facts, Figures & Funding, highlighting the lack of any effective workforce planning. #NASUWT

National Executive Member, Rod McCready, seconds the Facts, Figures and Funding Motion and emphasises the absolute necessity of ring-fencing the £920m coming in Barnett Consequentials for SEND spending in England for Additional Support for Learning funding in Scotland. #NASUWT

Scotland President, David Anderson, highlights the work NASUWT is doing with Scottish Government around, for example, recording and monitoring of violent incidents, but discussion and guidance is of little use if there are no improvements on the ground. #NASUWT

Ally Carle from Aberdeenshire asks: 'How can we have trauma-informed practice if we do not have trauma-informed leadership?' in her call for better support for teacher well-being, especially for pastoral staff. #NASUWT

First-time speaker, Neil Farmer, from Glasgow, praises the work of NASUWT, Scottish Government and others to develop a National Action Plan on Behaviour but shares the fact that a roadblock occurs, often at local authority level, which stops effective implementation of this. #NASUWT

Vice-President, Derrick Roberts, highlights the excellent resource from TIE, the Digital Discourse Initiative, which helps tackle online disinformation but warns that we will never get it right for every child if we don't first Get It Right for Every Teacher! #NASUWT

Shaun Cooper, Perth & Kinross Local Secretary, successfully moves an amendment to the motion on Physical and Verbal Abuse of Staff in Schools, securing a commitment to get educational employers to place clearly visible messaging about zero tolerance of violence and abuse in every workplace. #NASUWT

Union calls on next Scottish Government to commit £900m to ASN provision The next Scottish Government could receive £900 million in additional block grant funding. A union says this should all go to ASN provision.

The next Scottish Government stands to receive as much as £900 million because of a major Westminster expansion of additional needs provision.

NASUWT believe the entirety must be committed to prevent a deepening support crisis in Scotland.
