Welcome to the North Tyneside NASUWT
We hope you will find this website useful. It has been developed to enable you to make the most of your Union.
The NASUWT is one of the largest teacher unions in the United Kingdom. It is the only teacher union with members in all corners of the country. We organise in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. NASUWT has members in all the educational sectors offering them unrivalled support, advice and assistance.
The NASUWT in North Tyneside is the most progressive and active teacher union with more members than any educational trade union in the LEA.
As well as close links with both the regional and national organisation it has 8 lay officers presently working in our secondary, primary and special schools that can support its members in all aspects of their working lives.
If you need advice or have an issue in your school, please look for relevant information here, if not use the "contact" button to contact one of the secretaries. If you are emailing, please leave a phone number so we can telephone if necessary.

GENERAL ELECTION 2017 NASUWT REGISTERING TO VOTE LEAFLET
Dear Colleagues,
Further to my previous email regarding the requirements of the Lobbying Act for our activities during the General Election, I now enclose the first leaflet, which is being posted out to members at their home addresses, and focuses on ensuring that they are registered to vote and making their vote count.
I am sure that all of you recognise the serious implications of the UK General Election, particularly in relation to workers’ rights. These rights were already under severe threat before the General Election was announced, as was recognised by the NASUWT Annual Conference in the resolution passed on workers’ rights and indeed in many other motions debated and passed covering pay, workload and working conditions.
It is, therefore, critical that we do all we can to ensure our members recognise the rights they stand to lose, the rights they need to assert and the critical importance of voting and voting for their rights on 8 June. With approximately only 25 working days left before voting day, we need to get the messages out quickly.
This leaflet is the first of a series of election materials we will be sending out. As we did for the last General Election, as soon as anything is produced, we will email you to alert you to the material and provide you will an electronic copy. In addition, a supply of hard copies will be sent to your regional centres.
All best wishes.
Chris Keates (Ms)
General Secretary
