Summer bulletin 2025
Welcome to the summer 2025 edition of the NEU support staff newsletter.
This newsletter features recent news, campaigns, and successes within the support staff sector, as well as up-to-date information on continuing professional development (CPD) sessions and support staff national council (SSNC) updates.
Support staff are on the frontline of school cuts, being paid poverty wages whilst facing increases in workload. Now, more than ever, it is vital that all education workers are members of a union. Whether it’s on redundancies, backdated pay, holiday entitlements or maternity rights, NEU support staff members have been fighting back. Read all about it in this edition.
With very best wishes,
Daniel Kebede
NEU general secretary
