As former teachers ourselves, embarking on the journey of becoming a teacher is an exciting yet challenging experience.

Learning how to manage classroom behaviour, working in busy environments and dealing with pupils and parents, you have lots to juggle!

Amidst these challenges, it’s essential to feel supported and protected, which is why subscribing to Edapt could be a game-changer for anyone entering education.

Join the many trainee teachers who already subscribe to Edapt and find out why they trust us to support their careers in teaching.

Why should trainee teachers subscribe to Edapt?

Teaching is one of the most rewarding professions, but it comes with its fair share of risks, particularly for those just starting out. Trainee teachers are often navigating new environments, and things don’t always go according to plan. Allegations, employment disputes, or legal concerns can arise at any time. Issues related to contracts, workload, or unfair treatment can arise, and having a reliable resource like Edapt can ensure you are well-informed about your legal protections.

We offer legal protection and casework support to teachers, including trainees, so if you find yourself in a difficult situation, you have the backing of expert edu-legal advice. Instead of worrying about potential mishaps, you can focus on what really matters—building your skills and developing your teaching practice.

An alternative to traditional teaching unions

For decades, teachers have relied on teaching unions for support. However, not all trainees are interested in the political or industrial action often associated with unions. Edapt provides a different model. It offers comprehensive support without the involvement in strikes or politics.

This makes Edapt an appealing option for those who prefer a neutral, apolitical stance but still want access to robust protections and advice. If you’re looking for a service that prioritises personal assistance over political advocacy, Edapt is a great option.

Protection against disciplinary actions

As a new teacher, you are likely still learning the ropes of classroom management, student engagement, and professional conduct. Mistakes may happen—whether it’s a miscommunication with a parent, a classroom incident, or even filling out the register incorrectly! Unfortunately, these situations can sometimes escalate into disciplinary matters.

Subscribing to Edapt gives you access to expert advice and support in the event of disciplinary actions or grievances. Having professionals on your side means you’re not facing these challenges alone, and you can be sure you are navigating the process correctly and fairly.

Personalised, high-quality school employment support 

When issues arise, you’re assigned a dedicated caseworker who will assist you through the process, ensuring you receive tailored advice for your specific situation. Whether you have questions about your employment contract, are facing a difficult situation in school, or need help understanding your rights as a trainee teacher, Edapt’s team is there to guide you every step of the way.

This one-on-one support is particularly valuable for trainees who may be unfamiliar with the intricacies of education law and employment rights.

Affordable for the long-term

Edapt is completely free for the first year and is also cheaper than the NEU and NASUWT as you progress through the years in your teaching career. See table below:
