Children’s Wellbeing and Schools BillContribution
This amendment does not undermine trade unions, which play a vital role and have Liberal Democrat support. However, not all staff are union members, and some may prefer alternative support. Organisations such as Edapt and Education Support exist to provide trained professional assistance alongside, not in competition with, unions.
