Members of NASUWT – the Teachers’ Union will take strike action at Caldicot Secondary School in Monmouthshire on Wednesday 25th October. This is the third day of strike action by NASUWT members at the school.

Industrial action at Caldicot Secondary School has been ongoing throughout September and October as NASUWT members urgently seek safe working conditions.
 
NASUWT General Secretary Dr Patrick Roach said:
 
“The failure of the governing body to invest time and effort in talks to resolve this dispute is what is responsible for today’s strike action disruption.

“Our members want to see their employer seriously taking steps to address the adverse management practices that continue to affect the health, safety and welfare of staff and pupils.”

NASUWT National Official Wales Neil Butler said:
 
“Teachers must be able to teach without facing violent and aggressive behaviour. Parents of pupils at the school will also be concerned about how these behaviours impact upon their own children.

“The NASUWT is calling upon the Local Authority to use its powers of intervention. The Governors seem to have given up. The Local Authority must take control – not stand by and watch.

“The dispute has now escalated to another education union taking action. It is time to intervene. ​”
