NASUWT members have free access to a series of professional webinars on issues currently facing teachers and lecturers. This week, the focus is on pupil behaviour, one of the biggest concerns that teachers and leaders have about the quality of their working lives. This webinar will explore members' experiences of pupil behaviour, the actions that the NASUWT is taking to defend members' interests and in the run-up to the General Election, the action that we want the new government to take.
