At Edapt, the majority of our subscribers are women, reflecting the profession as a whole. As an organisation where we value ourselves on providing high-quality employment support for all school staff we understand the importance of International Women’s Day (March 8) as a global day celebrating the social, economic and cultural achievements of women.
Our team at Edapt love reading for pleasure and life-long learning as we celebrate this World Book Day. As former teachers, and as we support those who work in classrooms throughout the country, we appreciate the pleasure which reading brings as it opens up worlds of creativity and knowledge.
At the current time there is lots on the political horizon in which teachers may wish to engage pupils’ interest. We have a General Election coming into view, analysis of the budget taking place, industrial action in education being raised and on top of that, Local Elections. There is lots of scope for well rounded, informative and educational debate.
The topic of banning mobile phones in the classroom is one which often arises and we have written about before. The Department for Education (DfE) has published new guidance for schools in England on prohibiting the use of mobile phones throughout the school day.
It’s that time of the year when we receive lots of enquiries from our subscribers about teacher resignation dates. As explained in our support article on the topic, The Burgundy Book outlines the terms and conditions for handing in your notice in maintained schools.
Edapt subscribers can have access to our exclusive Benefits Hub to browse the money saving discounts for shopping, travel experiences, restaurants and more.
As school staff you might be too busy to browse everything on offer so we have summarised where we think the best offers are!
The Department for Education (DfE) has published draft non-statutory guidance for schools and colleges in England on the topic of ‘Gender Questioning Children’. This guidance does not apply to the rest of the United Kingdom.
Pre-existing cases are instances when school staff contact us requesting support with an employment case where the facts pre-exist their start of subscription. Typically this occurs when they are not a current subscriber of Edapt or a teaching union.
It’s the time of year when many teachers and school staff will be deciding their options when subscribing to a teaching union or edu-legal support such as Edapt (or in some cases both!).
Since our inception in 2012 we have supported thousands of school and college staff with high-quality, timely and personalised support. Read this post to find our more about how our subscriptions are changing for 2023-24 and beyond.
