PLEASE CAN YOU SPARE £2?
We are a group of supply teachers in Wales, UK. We have been
campaigning for a number of years to improve pay and conditions for
qualified teachers who are employed by agencies.
From September 2019 a New Framework agreement is being implemented by the National Procurement Service. Instead of the one "preferred supplier" now 22 agencies have been added to a list of approved agencies, these agencies have agreed to pay a minimum of M1, remove the Swedish Derogation, provide free CPD and publish transparent fees among many other stipulations.
This seems a great achievement as it will mean an uplift of pay for around £30 a day for many teachers.
Now for the bad news...
It has been poorly promoted, there is a lack of awareness by teachers and it seems that very few teachers have heard about it.
Some framework agencies are still advertising jobs at £90 a day.
What we need to do...
We need to get the word out; we have asked unions to send out
information, the NEU sent out a newsletter written by us explaining
the New Framework to all their supply teacher members, this generated
some new awareness but not as much as we'd hoped.
We have
contacted the media but sadly can't seem to get the attention we need.
The problem is that if teachers don't know about the changes they will continue to work for less than they are entitled to. Framework agencies are telling schools that they can employ teachers "off" the Framework. If teachers are ignorant of the changes and work for less then the whole new Framework falls apart.
If all teachers know, then they can be better informed, they will hopefully refuse to work for less than M1.
We have decided that one way to advertise the changes is to "buy" Facebook advertising. We can target teachers and ask them to read and to share a specific post explaining the Framework. However, Facebook advertising costs. That's why we've set up this GoFundMe.
We are asking if supporters would kindly donate £2, we are aware that this time of the year things are even tighter than usual for precarious workers like supply teachers, so that's why we are just asking for a small amount. Hopefully we can get enough of these small donations to be able to pay to reach as many supply teachers as possible and tell them about the forthcoming changes in Wales.
Thank you for reading this and considering donating to the fund.
