I absolutely feel this. Teaching is not what it was as a profession all these years later. I left it behind at Christmas but I will always remember what it was, and what we could have had, so fondly. 💕

I’m incredibly proud of the work I, and many others, have done to move our schools and colleges forward in the way we care for staff after pregnancy loss @NeuNewcastle @NEUnorthern #babyloss #1in4

Thank you to the lovely @LNER staff who made Charlie’s first train journey so lovely yesterday. Travelling with a 3 year old was made so much easier by the kindness of the staff 💕

If the government wants truly to make a difference it will over invest in 0-5 year provision rather than under invest. Sure Start was levelling up. What I’d do for a government with a long term vision bbc.co.uk/news/education-687…

'Sure Start Centres gave families the services they need and deserve, enabling them to give their children the best start in life... Unfortunately, such valuable support has been decimated, leaving families in desperate need of support' Read our PR here neu.org.uk/latest/press-rele…

In a room packed full of amazing women from the @NEUnion in the Northern Region. It’s fantastic to be part of the Women’s Conference this weekend. @NEUWomen

We believe Government will say teachers should get just a 1-2% pay rise this year. If you’re a teacher in a school or sixth form in England or Wales, make sure you vote - enough is enough! Get ballot ready at NEUActivate.com #PayUp24 #InvestInEducation

Our reducing workload; winning on pay event is in full swing. We’re now discussing the removal of PRP and the reinstatement of the 23 tasks teachers shouldn’t do; a welcome win by education unions. @amyk21 training reps to use the reducing workload resources.

This is what every school, every teacher needs to do off the back of the results of the inquest yesterday. Bin the banners, don’t give them the power. Sign the petition here - petition.parliament.uk/petit… vm.tiktok.com/ZGe8m27cf/

Ofsted will have five lawyers paid for by the taxpayer at Ruth Perry’s inquest. Her family have had legal aid declined- crowdfunding to make it fairer. Coroners have cited Ofsted as factor in deaths of 10 teachers already - surely this is a turning point. gofund.me/5a059fa7

PA Consulting has a £7.6m government contract to trial reforms to fix a SEND system currently so cash-strapped parents have to fight tooth and nail just to get support We found the day rates their consultants are charging - but can’t tell you Story 👇 schoolsweek.co.uk/gagged-pa-…

A beautiful view for a great weekend of @NEUnorthern regional training and organising #proudtobeNEU

A very special sight in #Northumberland tonight 🤩

Interesting shotgun meeting again with the DFE. Less than 24 hours notice. No notice of what was to be discussed. Turns out they want to implement Minimum Service Levels in schools to break strikes. 1) if @GillianKeegan wants to implement minimum service levels, I have some ideas: Every child taught in a class under 30, every child taught by a qualified teacher, every child to have the SEND support they need, every child to be taught in a school that is fit for purpose and not crumbling. 2) The government have no democratic mandate to attack our democratic right to strike. The PM has never faced an election and they would be wiped out if they did. No mandate and no right to attack our democratic right to strike. 3) The Government are treating the profession with contempt. They knew about the £370m funding blunder during the early phases of RAAC and sat on it to avoid greater embarrassment - denying schools the info they needed. 4) Today they briefed the sun newspaper before they briefed the profession. Disgraceful.

This is your regular reminder to check your teacher pensions - I found two big holes in mine and it's turning into a massive headache to sort it out. Log on to Teachers' Pensions and DO IT. I don't even want to contemplate the possibility of the holes not being filled...

Having promised the amazing @Sue_Cowley our union’s renewed focus on early years would absolutely include all EYFS settings, listening to her webinar tonight has been a real treat. I am so grateful and we really appreciate you and your expertise 💕 #proudtobeNEU #EYFS @NEUnion

This will be an excellent session - sign up & join in! #eyfstwitterpals #earlyyears #ofsted #NEU
