School Support Staff Negotiating Body

Dear Colleagues

You may be aware that for some time now there have been ongoing discussions about a national framework for School Support Staff pay and conditions.

The Schools Support Staff Negotiating Body (SSSNB) has been established as a legal body in November 2009. It is negotiating terms and conditions for schools support staff.  UNISON is represented with  UNISON 8 of the 15 seats on the Trades union side. The employers’ representation is: Local Government Employers (LGE), Foundation and Voluntary Aided Schools (FASNA), Catholic and Church of England Education Services. There is an Independent Chair.

Members’ meetings

IWe have organised members' meetings in four secondary schools this month to discuss with you about the proposals and give you an update on progress of the SSSNB.

Details of the meetings are here. We have also written to all members in schools. If you haven't received a letter please phone our office on 024 7667 9475.

If you have any immediate queries please do not hesitate to contact the Education team in the branch on 76671085.
