Campaigning on workload and working time issues in school – teachers’ working time and duties guide - 2012

This guide summarises the entitlements of teachers under the STPCD; their rights under regulation and legislation;and the NUT’s policies and advice on workload and working hours. Teachers who are employed by a local authority or by the governing body of a foundation, or voluntary aided school are covered by STPCD conditions. Many teachers working in Academies will be too, though this is not automatic in all cases.
