“it’s good because this will increase faith in collective action. Which bodes well for future actions. We now have almost every teacher in the NEU … Those who weren’t signed up, are now.” – local rep, after winning in the workplace #BitByBit
Our Lambeth NEU reps are using the Lambeth Charter to win major changes in their schools. Dangerous and unnecessary observations are being cancelled and PPA is being taken from home.
When members unite, anything is possible! 💪 #BitByBit
We have started our reps meeting with a minute silence for #GeorgeFloyd, the global Black community, and those who experience police brutality and racism. #BlackLivesMattter
After 4 of the government’s scientific advisers have broken rank to criticise the government’s plans, we urge head teachers to consider delaying this further.
Even June 15 would reduce the risks by half.
We are writing to all Lambeth heads and NEU members to communicate this.
NEU reps, working with their headteachers, have done fantastic work pushing the opening date back.
But many still plan to open next week. We are asking heads to reconsider 1/2
The government wanted every primary school to open to full classes of Reception, Year 1 and Year 6 from Monday.
Out of 60 primary schools in Lambeth, ZERO are doing it.
I've never been more proud of @LambethNEU.
Lambeth NEU have worked with Cllr @EdDavie on plans to reopen. Schools should only reopen when it’s safe, the @NEUnion’s #FiveTests are met.
Great to have the support of our council on this!

Big thanks to the 200 education workers in Lambeth who joined our call this evening. 🖥
We want to reopen schools but only when it’s safe.🤒
We won’t let the government put our live at risk ✊
Lambeth educators: join @BellRibeiroAddy to discuss the governments plans to return to school, and how we should respond.

Just hosted a call of @LambethNeu reps. @NEUnion's #fivetests have not been met so it's down to reps to support members who do not feel it is safe to return.
This could mean telling Heads that school cannot open
Union reps have never been so important as they are now.
