Paul Whiteman, general secretary of the NAHT union, has delivered his speech at the union’s annual conference in Telford.
It comes after the school leaders’ union announced it would re-ballot its members for strikes over pay, school funding, workload and wellbeing.
Paul Whiteman:
Colleagues, thank you for that warm welcome.
You need to be careful, though… it won’t take much encouragement for me to go all south London on you at the moment!
I could easily spend the next 20 minutes getting stuck into the governments of Northern Ireland, Wales and England for their abject failure to support the profession and the children you care for.
