When we created NEU Parents as a space for members we wanted to inform members of their rights, empower them to advocate for themselves and inspire them to take action in their workplaces- no matter how small.
Member feedback is important to us so please spare 5 mins

We've worked with @neucheshireeast.bsky.social to bring a Supporting Carers motion to conference 2025 to support members winning better paid dependants/special leave policies because we know the financial impact that unpaid leave policies have on carers of seriously ill/disabled dependants.

If your school isn't looking for quick wins on the flex front, such as PPA from home, then get together as members and ask them why!
In a recruitment & retention crisis schools need to be embracing flex.
