Who we help
Voice, the union that champions the rights of education professionals.
Tune in to hear from Martin and Rob discuss the latest Autumn COVID updates and planning for any future outbreaks, making sure your classroom is well ventilated, keeping children safe in education and myths surrounding special leave.
The future of education must focus on long-term recovery and students’ mental health, not short-term catch-up. The Future of Education report follows a survey of Community union’s education and early years members across the UK.
In response to the current crisis, and in line with government advice, Voice HQ in Derby is closed until further notice. All staff are now working from home and any disruption will be kept to a minimum. Please ensure your contact details are kept up to date to that we can provide news updates and information to you as soon as it becomes available.
