A return to work interview will be held with your line manager in school after a short period of absence. Return to work interviews will be informal meetings and can cover the reason for your absence and how your school can support your return.
During term time you may have to request leave from school due to exceptional circumstances. This may be due to a range of reasons from attending jury service, going to a graduation ceremony to attending a wedding.

As a teacher you might want to attend an upcoming protest or political march but might be unsure if it will affect your employment in school. When deciding to participate you will have to weigh up professional ethics, legal considerations and public perception from parents and the school community.

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.
