The NEU stands with the NHS: underfunded schools and hospitals can’t take more cuts.

We need a fully funded pay award to fix the recruitment and retention crisis across public services.

When we created NEU Parents as a space for members we wanted to inform members of their rights, empower them to advocate for themselves and inspire them to take action in their workplaces- no matter how small.

Member feedback is important to us so please spare 5 mins
