During the last few months the Association's solicitor has acted on behalf of a number of members who are supply teachers. On each occasion the member has benefited from additional payments and better contractual conditions.

Challenging this disgraceful treatment of supply teachers is difficult and we do not expect to win every case. The position will be discussed with individual members and any action agreed with be taken with their informed consent.

The Association is committed to supporting all members and will examine every case brought to us. Where evidence of discrimination is available the matter will be referred to our solicitors.
