Core Values
Our success as a union is based on a commitment to our members and we frequently go beyond what’s expected to find new ways to support you. We negotiate with government departments, local authorities and private employers to seek recognition for education and childcare professionals. This is assisted by our strong position in government working groups and consultation forums.
Our goal is to ensure your place of work is somewhere you feel valued, secure and rewarded. Voice deals with the agitating, the arguing, the negotiating and the planning, giving you the freedom to get on with what matters most – your job.
Voice's Core Values
The strength of negotiation
At Voice, we believe in the power of negotiation to protect the interests of our members – who never resort to industrial action.
Truly independent union
Our independence from the S/TUC and non-affiliation to any political party means our thoughts and actions are dedicated to our members
Supporting children, Protecting ourselves
We’re responsible for the children we educate and care for, and it’s essential that we support them alongside protecting ourselves.
Every member is unique
All of our members are professionals fulfilling an important role in education, early years and childcare, so it’s important that we provide a dedicated and personal service, and strive for quality in everything we do.
