The party who claim to be patriots literally had a Reform leadership member caught red handed taking bribes from Russia. This article details the speeches Nathan Gill gave that he was paid to give. How are Reform getting away with this? www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

Really looking forward to today's workshop event for neurodivergent members aimed at tackling workplace inequality ✊️

Kirsty supporting the motion on Sexual Harrassment, which 1 in 5 NASUWT members has experienced since becoming a teacher. @scottishtucwc.bsky.social @scottishtuc.bsky.social #STUCwomen25

Maureen seconds the motion on Parental Leave and Pay Rights, calling for reforms, improvements and extensions. @STUCwomen #STUCwomen25

From ending sexual harassment to combatting the far-right, our Women's manifesto is making clear demands to put women's voices front and centre as we approach Holyrood 2026. www.stuc.org.uk/resources/wo...

Tara seconding the composite motion on Misogyny, Extremism & the Rise of the Far Right. Women teachers are disproportionately targeted, with increased challenges to their authority, as well as abuse and assaults. @scottishtuc.bsky.social #STUCwomen25

When women demand better, society moves forward. Scotland’s women are not asking politely for small improvements — we’re demanding a transformation rooted in dignity, equality & solidarity morningstaronline.co.uk/article/wome... @mstaronline.bsky.social @rozfoyer.bsky.social @scottishtuc.bsky.social

It is long past time for this SNP manifesto promise and Scottish Government/COSLA commitment to be delivered. No wonder our members are feeling exhausted but also enraged… #EduSky

Saw the @dundeerep.bsky.social & Citizens Theatre production of The Glass Menagerie last night. My favourite Williams play and they have done a brilliant job in bringing out its humour and pathos. Go and see it. (Though you’ll need to go to Edinburgh as it’s now finished its Glasgow run!).

Today #ScotlandDemandsBetter. Trade Unions, campaigners and activists marched through Edinburgh in their thousands. The march for all of us! See some 📸 below @cpwscotland.bsky.social @scottishtuc.bsky.social

I will be there as part of the @nasuwtscotland.bsky.social group. Looking forward to it. Let’s show who really cares about Scotland’s workers and families (clue: it’s not Fake Farage & co). #ScotandDemandsBetter

⏳5 days to go! Join us on Saturday 25th October for the march for all of us #ScotlandDemandsBetter 📍Assembly from 10am outside the Scottish Parliament before marching onto The Meadows for a rally with inspirational speakers and live music! Join us: www.scotland-demands-better.com/supporters

Took some time at our Fringe meeting at yesterday’s @scottishgreens.org Conference to encourage attendance at the #ScotlandDemandsBetter march and rally in Edinburgh on Saturday 25 October - the antidote to Fake Farage and his pals who shout at hotels. @povertyalliance.org @scottishtuc.sky.social

"There seems to be a reliance on restorative justice, you seem to learn from an early age you can be violent towards teachers and the consequence will be to go out and play with some toys.. children learn they will be rewarded" www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDwT...

Delighted to have @ross-greer.bsky.social and Cllr Christy Mearns at our Fringe meeting @scottishgreens.org Conference yesterday. Pleased that Ross highlighted NASUWT’s efforts to support LGBT+ rights, especially for the trans community, and his sincere thanks for that. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

NASUWT member Mustapha spoke to STV News today, at the STUC Black Workers Conference 2025, highlighting the importance of tackling far right narratives in our schools and communities. #STUCBlackworkers25 @scottishtucbwc.bsky.social

What an end to day 1 #STUCBlackworkers25. NASUWT supporting the Composite C: Tackling the Far Right. As a movement we must mobilise, in the streets, in workplaces, in our communities and in our trade unions to provide messages of hope and unity to defeat hatred and division.

This weekend, workers throughout Scotland are attending the STUC Black Workers' Conference and NASUWT has a full delegation. Looking forward to a brilliant 2 days of solidarity and empowerment ✊️ #STUCblackworkers25

So @thenerve.news doing essential work about spying/foreign influence in UK politics here - but why no wider focus as there is with the Chinese spy story? Is it because this time it involves Reform UK? Curious.

It’s becoming an all-too-familiar but frustrating refrain: local authorities need to actually share and apply the key parts of the National Action Plan on Relationships and Behaviour - especially around using a full range of consequences for poor behaviour. #EduSky

📣 On Sat 25 Oct, join us in Edinburgh as #WeDemandBetter! 🕚 Start: 11am at Scottish Parliament 🚶March through the city 🎉 Rally at The Meadows for music, speeches, food & family fun! Find out more: www.scotland-demands-better.com/march-and-ra...

Scotland has Britain's highest rate of serious attacks on school staff. Channel 4 News spoke to a number of teachers impacted and NASUWT National Official @mikecorbett1.bsky.social

Scotland has the highest rate of violent injuries to school staff in the UK, new figures suggest, with almost 500 reports recorded from 2014 to 2024

“Here Farage is, in Gill’s office, with Voloshyn’s wife Nadia, on the day Gill makes an intervention on behalf of Medvedchuk’s channels, with an employee of one of those channels, whose husband started bribing Gill to make these statements 6 days earlier” bylinetimes.com/2025/10/11/s...

A snapshot of our asks to parties in advance of the election: workforce planning, safety at work, tackling discrimination, violence, hate speech & disinformation as well as better multi-agency working. Teachers deserve a better deal. Let's get it right for teachers. @mikecorbett1.bsky.social

We need restoration of teacher pay, improved working conditions, including the promised class contact time reduction, and a revised approach to tackling the ASN crisis. Scottish Government must get it right for every teacher. @mikecorbett1.bsky.social

Roz Foyer, STUC General Secretary, demanding better at the launch of the Women Against the Far Right campaign. Part 2 of 2. @rozfoyer.bsky.social @scottishtuc.bsky.social

Roz Foyer, STUC General Secretary, demanding better at the launch of the Women Against the Far Right campaign. Part 1 of 2. @rozfoyer.bsky.social

We’re asking the Scottish Government and Cosla (the local authorities body) to stop dragging their heels in agreeing the 2025-26 pay award for teachers. We need full pay restoration. @heraldscotland.bsky.social www.heraldscotland.com/news/2552508...

We won't let those intent on dividing our communities use the real fears of women as a smokescreen for their hatred. We stand together against the far right. ✊️🤝

STUC Women’s Committee, alongside hundreds of other women, were supporting the launch of Women against the Far Right in Glasgow tonight. Fantastic speakers, including the amazing STUC General Secretary, Roz Foyer @jakil.bsky.social @scottishtucwc.bsky.social United against racism & the far right.

We have an unstable job market that fails to produce permanent roles for a high number of teachers, especially those earlier in their careers. It feels like we’re setting Scottish teachers up to fail. @mikecorbett1.bsky.social

Speaking on behalf of the STUC and NASUWT Scotland, Kim affirms our collective fight against the far right. NASUWT has a long and proud tradition of defending communities threatened by the far right. #perthagainstracism #StandUptoRacism

It is a patchwork picture across Scotland in relation to debriefs post incident. NASUWT supports the need for a national system to report and record every significant incident of use of force. Recording data can then be used to monitor and identify patterns. @mikecorbett1.bsky.social

There are significant professional risks intervening in a physical altercation. @mikecorbett1.bsky.social

Current national guidance needs to be improved to provide greater clarity for teachers. @mikecorbett1.bsky.social speaking to the Education C&YP Committee about the Restraint and Seclusion in Schools (Scotland) Bill.

Tomorrow the Education, Children and Young People Committee continues their consideration of the Restraint and Seclusion in Schools (Scotland) Bill. NASUWT Scotland National Official @mikecorbett1.bsky.social will be in attendance - watch online or follow along on bluesky: www.scottishparliament.tv

Join the over 200 women MSPs, cultural figures, campaigners and organisations, including the STUC Women's Committee and NASUWT Scotland activists, in signing the open letter below to show that we will not let the far right speak in our name: actionnetwork.org/petitions/wo...

We’ll be there. Join the march for all of us! #Edinburgh #25Oct #ScotlandDemandsBetter scotland-demands-better.com

The mask slips and For Women Scotland are revealed as an anti-trade union fringe group. NASUWT policy is debated and voted on by our serving teacher members. Who do FWS represent? Not the majority of women in Scotland who agree that #TransRightsAreHumanRights #STUC #UnitedWorkers

Billionaires get richer while the rest pay the price, and the next generation faces worse prospects than their parents. Mr Wrack, GS NASUWT, said the trade union movement must offer, and demand, an alternative. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

No child deserves to live in poverty, full stop. But the educational impact of the poverty that continues to rip through our communities and schools cannot be overstated. The UK government cannot claim an ambitious child poverty strategy while any part of this policy remains in place.

I don’t know that she always listens… but, on this, I share her frustration - the National Behaviour Action Plan has some decent stuff in it and local authorities/schools need to get a move on and implement it. If not, they will likely see more trade disputes and action from NASUWT members. #EduSky

On BBC Reporting Scotland @mikecorbett1.bsky.social was talking about pupil behaviour. Employers & schools need to take action & implement national guidance. While not captured on the recording, Mike also queried the weight being given to comments from the Commission on School Reform.

This was a bit frustrating today: our politicians are going to need to learn, and quickly, that Far Right and Farage lies need to be challenged loudly and publicly, both on the ground and in the media. #STUC

Hunger has a serious impact on learning and concentration. The number of eligible children taking up the offer of a free school meal has increased again. Universal free school meals would have significant benefits to pupils’ health, wellbeing & educational attainment. www.gov.scot/news/free-sc...

Trade unions have also raised the alarm, warning that social media influencers are fuelling a palpable and dangerous increase in sexism and misogyny. The NASUWT teaching union has described this sort of abuse and harassment, which is aimed at female teachers and pupils, as a “daily occurrence.”

Many thanks to Andy Creamer – Head of Learning, Teaching and Assessment at Education Scotland - for joining our Scotland Executive Council meeting today to update on the Curriculum Improvement Cycle (CIC). 📸 Andy with President, David, and Sarah, our NASUWT rep on the CIC working group.

With thanks to our NASUWT rep, Victoria, for representing the voice of teachers at this week's Action for a Fairer World events. For more details on Learning for Sustainability, check out our website: www.nasuwt.org.uk/advice/in-th...

Frances Guy, CEO, Scotland’s International Development Alliance confirming we have to put our foot on the accelerator. Scotland could be doing so much more.
