Get Involved

The NEU is a lay-led union - that means the union is you!
Reps have a statutory entitlement to training and are fully supported along the way.

Workplace Reps

<p>The Workplace rep provides essential communication networks both within the union &amp; within the workplace. It does not have to be a one-person role and a good rep team includes a support staff rep.</p>

Health & Safety Reps

<p>Excessive workload, harassment, deteriorating buildings and the impact of climate change are amongst some of the key health and safety concerns of education workers</p>

Learning Reps

<p>Our workplace learning representatives are accredited union reps and are there to support members with their professional and personal learning.</p>

Green Reps

<p>This is a new role launched in 2022 to help to tackle the climate and environmental crisis and empower NEU members to be a force for change on these issues.</p>

Menopause Ambassadors

<p>An ambassador in every workplace will support members and reps in negotiating the best employment policies, using our model policies and policy checklists.</p>

Independent Sector Reps

<p>Join our WhatsApp community to discuss the pay campaign, defending the TPS and support staff issues.</p>
