Although the government finally agreed to close most schools to all except vulnerable and key workers’ children during the lockdown period, UNISON is still calling on ministers to introduce further measures that will safeguard our members.
Support staff still face a lot of uncertainty and have many questions that the government has not answered, particularly for those working in early years and special schools.

Holocaust Memorial Day is this Wednesday. Every year on 27 January we remember the millions of people who have been affected by the Holocaust and subsequent genocides around the world.

Let’s vaccinate Britain! |
| Trade unions always step up in times of national crisis. That’s why the TUC has joined the Labour party and the Daily Mirror in the Let’s Vaccinate Britain campaign.
In December the TUC set out how we think a vaccination programme should work – and the key thing is that it is led and delivered by public health professionals and our NHS. |

Let’s vaccinate the borough
2020 was, to say the least, an extremely difficult year, perhaps the toughest year in living memory. 2021 has started as frantic with the announcement of a new national lockdown.
It has left people worried and anxious for themselves and their families.
