Dear Member
Almost the half term! I hope the last few days go as smoothly as possible.
Behaviours of concern survey
Thanks to the many hundreds of you who have already completed this survey - testimony to the strength of feeling around this issue. However, we need to hear from ALL members (in CEC schools - anyone working in an independent school who has concerns around this issue should contact me separately). Please take a bit of time to answer the questions, as robust data is a huge help in our ongoing campaigning to try to tackle this issue. You can find the survey here.
Salary increments - particularly important for supply teachers
Rules around salary placements are here. Increments are awarded for teaching service - however, if you are doing supply in multiple schools, CEC will not automatically know when you have reached the threshold for an increment. Thus, it is important that supply teachers keep track and then notify HR (via raising a HALO ticket) when they have done the required number of weeks. It should then be straightforward for the increment to be processed. Newley qualified teachers should also check whether they might be due an increment for other relevant non-teaching experience (which can then be claimed for following the process outlined here).
Have a good rest of the week.
Alison
