Welcome to our new website which concentrates on your local needs and services.
Who are we?
The Somerset County Teachers’ Association is a Division within the national structure of the National Union of Teachers and it represents NUT members within Somerset.
The Somerset Teachers’ Association and the Division are part of the South West Region (Region 7) and the Regional Office is based in Exeter. Local Division Officers are also based in Somerset.
When do we meet?
The Association meets every month during term time to discuss both national and local issues relevant to members in Somerset.
What do we do?
The Association provides support for members in schools and the central support services. Members are given advice and guidance when necessary and the Union represents them in matters relating to their professional and personal circumstances.
The Division organises the Union at a County Level, undertaking such tasks as liaison with other teacher unions. The Local Association believes that there should be one Teachers’ Union for all teachers.
What can we offer locally?
- Representation of members interests with employers
- Negotiations at national and local level on pay and conditions of service
- Individual casework for members on professional and employment issues
- Legal advice and assistance
