We advise the National Employers’ Organisation for School Teachers (NEOST), the representative body for children's services authorities and local education authorities on matters related to school teachers' pay and conditions. We also advise the employers’ sides and conduct negotiations with unions in determining national pay and conditions for youth and community workers; Soulbury officers; teachers in residential establishments; and teachers/staff in sixth form colleges.
The Employment Relations Unit (ERU) provides comprehensive advice and information for local authorities on all aspects of employment relations and practices.
