Shameful behaviour by Glasgow City Council here. They need to withdraw this threat and accept that there can be valid criticism of their decision-making and challenge to some of their policy choices.

National Official, Mike Corbett, calls out Glasgow City Council for its pursuit of a parent for tens of thousands in legal costs: ‘The decision… will have a chilling effect on the willingness of ordinary citizens to challenge those in power.’ www.heraldscotland.com/news/2641702...

NASUWT condemns the racist violence & disorder and stands with every family & community under attack. That is why we are gathering this Saturday at the 'Reclaim our Streets; No to the Far Right' rally in Glasgow. Please make every effort to be there. 📅 Sat 13th June 📍 Glasgow Buchanan Steps 1pm

NASUWT condemns the racist violence and disorder seen this week in Northern Ireland as well as parts of Scotland Our solidarity is with those communities targeted and with teachers across Scotland who are supporting children and young people impacted by this violence and intimidation. There is no place for racism, hate or violence in our communities and our political leaders must be unequivocal in condemning both those who physically attack racially minoritised communities and those who fuel the violence with poisonous rhetoric. NASUWT stands with every family and community under attack - they are not alone, not forgotten, not abandoned. That is why we are gathering this Saturday at the 'Reclaim our Streets; No to the Far Right' rally in Glasgow. Please make every effort to be there. Saturday 13th June Glasgow: Buchanan Steps at 1pm

The thugs who gathered in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Ayr last night are con artists; pretending to care about people subjected to violence by being violent themselves. And where are they when white men attack, assault or kill women or immigrants? Absent. Scotland needs immigrants; not these clowns.

NASUWT data shows 23.4% female teachers have been subject to misogyny in the past year - a rise from 17.4% in 2023. For some teachers it’s a driver for them making that decision to stop being teachers at all, which is quite concerning. They don’t want to continue being subject to this kind of abuse

The rise of online misogyny is a huge talking point – but how much is it really influencing boys? And what can schools do to protect pupils from this toxic messaging? @davidarobson.bsky.social looks at what the research tells us

Alongside colleagues, I have tabled a motion to disapprove the Equality Act 2010: Draft Code of Practice for Services, public functions and associations. We cannot support it, and we have a responsibility to our trans constituents to resist it. Please email your MP asking them to sign EDM 240.

Motion to reject the EHRC's Code of Practice Alongside colleagues, I have tabled a motion to disapprove the Equality Act 2010: Draft Code of Practice for services, public functions and associations. We cannot support it, and we have a responsibility to our trans constituents to resist it. This motion is currently the only available mechanism through which Parliament can reject the EHRC's Code of Practice; if it is debated and passed within the 40-day scrutiny window, it would prevent the Code from being issued by the EHRC and coming into force. Please email your MP asking them to sign EDM 240.The Code will exclude trans people from services and facilities that they have long used without issue, putting them at increased risk of harassment and violence, and effectively pushing them out of public life. It ushers in an era of enforced segregation for trans people, the policing of which will be outsourced to service providers, including businesses, charities and public bodies.In the statement to the House of Commons yesterday, the Minister even suggested that where members of the public are unsure of someone's gender within a single-sex facility, "most people will have the common sense to step in where necessary or, if they are concerned, to alert a member of staff." Meanwhile, this guidance does not give clarity and confidence to organisations that want to be trans-inclusive. Its impact also extends beyond the rights of trans people. The government's own Equality Impact Assessment warns that "women who are considered masculine may face greater scrutiny" and that disabled people could face adverse impacts.The Code represents a profound rollback of rights, which will affect trans people directly and erode the principles of inclusion, dignity and equality upon which all our rights depend. This guidance must not become statutory; the government should withdraw it and instead legislate to clarify and protect trans people's rights, privacy and inclusion.

National Official, Mike Corbett, spoke to Radio Scotland Breakfast this morning about the rise in teacher assaults in schools, questioning the reliability of the figures and calling for action to be taken to make teachers safe in their workplace.

National Official @mikecorbett1.bsky.social highlights that the true figures for attacks on teaching staff will be higher than those uncovered by the BBC. “We need to be looking at what needs done to make teachers safe in the workplace.” www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The incident is one of thousands of attacks on teaching staff each year and many now say violence in the classroom is out of control
