Good to see the school leaders’ union NAHT highlighting this important issue. UNISON and other education unions are calling on the government to act on cuts to school health services and put in place a nationwide NHS clinical nursing service for every school - see the Tes magazine article below and read more here: https://www.unison.org.uk/about-2/schools/delivering-health-care-to-school-pupils-with-medical-conditions/

Heads warn of ‘unsafe’ role of school staff in medical care Headteachers’ leaders call for an ‘escalation route’ when a school decides a pupil’s needs cannot be safely met by education staff alone

Loving your job and being in a union? ABSOLUTELY COMPATIBLE. ✅️

There's a myth worth busting:
● that trade unions are about conflict;
● that members must resent their employers; OR
● that joining UNISON means you think your workplace is the enemy.

It isn't true.

👍 Most of our members are proud of the work they do.
👍 They care about the people they serve and the colleagues they work alongside. We do too.

What UNISON is actually about is making sure that dedication is recognised:
✅️ Fair pay.
✅️ Safe conditions.
✅️ Proper procedures when things go wrong.
✅️ A voice at the table when decisions are made that affect your working life.
✅️ You can love your job and still deserve a pay rise.
✅️ You can be committed to your employer and still need someone in your corner when a dispute arises.
✅️ You can take pride in your work and still expect to be treated with respect and dignity.

That's not adversarial. That's just fair.
