Various slogans on a blue background: Better Deal for Teachers; Providing a Healthy, Safe and Secure Environment; Vote to protect teachers against violence, assault or harassment; Getting It Right For Every Teacher
Being on the receiving end of abuse or violence remains the experience of too many teachers. Any new Government must ensure the Joint Action Plan on Relationships & Behaviour is actually embedded in schools. Find out more about the NASUWT Scotland manifesto here: www.nasuwt.org.uk/static/b9d70...
Chaired by journalist & broadcaster Stuart Cosgrove the topics discussed included Health & Social Care, Education, Housing & Communities.
Questions were set by the audience - the LDAN bill alongside patchy provision of ASN education were of particular prominence.

Various slogans on a yellow and black background: Better Deal for Teachers; National Coherence; Vote to establish a Charter of Entitlements for pupils and teachers linking teacher rights to pupil entitlements; Getting It Right For Every Teacher.
We have always said that teachers' working conditions are pupils' learning conditions - it's time to formalise that link. For more information about our NASUWT Scotland Election manifesto, click here: www.nasuwt.org.uk/static/b9d70...
Universal Free School Meals would ensure that every child receives at least one nutritious meal a day, reduce stigma, and give families a measure of security at a time when too many are struggling.

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...
Various slogans on a blue background: Better Deal for Teachers; Addressing Socio-Economic Disadvantage; Vote to introduce a wealth tax on the richest to raise billions for public services; View Manifesto - Link in Bio; Getting It Right For Every Teacher
After last night's Leaders' Debate, one key question is to ask where the money for various pledges is going to come from: making the mega-rich pay a bit more is one of our suggestions. Find out more about our NASUWT Scotland Manifesto here: www.nasuwt.org.uk/static/b9d70...
