Voice. Sound advice from the union for education professionals – teaching, childcare and support staff and students.

Unfortunately, things can and do go wrong at work - often when you least expect it. You never know when you’re going to need the support of a firm but friendly union to fight your corner.

Voice is the union for education professionals, and we speak up for everyone, from teachers, lecturers, nursery nurses and nannies, to head teachers and school support staff, including teaching assistants, technicians and administrators and students* (*free membership). Voice represents a united strength that will support, protect and listen to you throughout your career, and we believe that every professional in education, early years and childcare has a right to be heard. That’s why we offer a service that can enrich your working life - making Voice membership so much more than an insurance policy.

Because we support tens-of-thousands of members, we can offer you the personal service you deserve - but we’re large enough to get results. What’s more, we’ve got the strong presence needed to guarantee your voice is heard.

"We prefer the force of argument rather than the argument of force." At Voice, we believe in the power of negotiation to protect the interests of our members – who never resort to strikes or other forms of industrial action.
