SSSNB - Update

(15/07/2010)Following the general election, the Independent Chair of the SSSNB received a letter from the Department for Education which stated that the Department was undertaking a review of the School Support Staff Negotiating Body (SSSNB) and support staff pay and conditions. As a result of this SSSNB activities was put on hold. The SSSNB Executive Group met on 13 July. At that meeting, Department for Education officials stated that government Ministers had still not made a decision on the future of the SSSNB.
