NAHT Cymru members have been through a challenging year. School leaders took national action for the first time in the union’s 126-year history in their fight for the protection of education. Our action has cemented our place as a campaigning union and now is the time capitalise on that collectivism and support our members with whatever challenges lie ahead.
Conference is an opportunity to build on our success, shape the direction of the union’s next steps when it comes to our 2024 agenda and bring together members to discuss all areas of education that matter to you. Your voice drives our activity, join us and make sure your views are heard.
Who should attend?
This FREE event is for NAHT Cymru members only. Places are limited so early booking is advised.
