broadcast.jpg

We held a live broadcast for members in Northern Ireland on 23 September 2020.  

We were joined by virologist Dr Lindsay Broadbent, who works as an ISSF Welcome Trust Research fellow at Queens University Belfast.

Dr Broadbent has provided invaluable insights and commentary throughout the covid-19 pandemic. For the event, she answered members' questions related to the science around covid-19 and the implications of the physical restart of schools.

NAHT(NI) director Helena Macormac discussed the headline results from our recent survey on employer support and funding. 

And NAHT(NI) president Dr Graham Gault provided an update on the ongoing work we're doing on members' behalf.

Recent consultations and other documents

NITC joint letter to management side

The five teacher unions in Northern Ireland, including NAHT(NI), wrote to the employers seeking additional payment to school leaders and teaching staff who worked significant additional hours during summer 2021 in order to ensure this work was recognised.

 

Consultation on deferring school starting age: NAHT(NI) draft response

We are concerned at the advancement of this proposal as the evidential basis for this consultation is highly limited. We contend that the current proposal should be retracted. The proposal fails to reflect the experience of pupils, school leaders, parents and the whole school community. Given the significance of this potential policy change, it is essential that the perspectives of all stakeholders are considered. We know that members are operating in a business-critical environment and will have limited or no time to engage with consultation exercises, however, we encourage members to consider responding to this important consultation and copy our response to complete your individual response.
