Supply teachers deserve better. Agencies are cashing in while teachers are underpaid and excluded from pensions.

📢 Help us send a clear message to politicians

✍️Write to your MP today and ask them to stop the agency rip off! stop-the-agency-rip-off.neuaction.io

Supply agencies are profiting while teachers lose out.
