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.
Every education professional has the right to be heard and as an independent union, we're here to listen, to understand, to protect and to fight. We embrace the power of negotiation to ensure you feel valued, secure and rewarded at work.
That’s why at Voice, we represent those working from early years, right through to further and higher education. Whatever you do in education, we should have a membership that’s right for you.
Voice, the union that champions the rights of education professionals.
