About the indicative ballot
The indicative ballot asks teacher and support staff members in state-funded schools in England whether they are prepared to take strike action to secure fully funded pay increases, stop workload increasing further and prevent redundancies.
We are asking members who are teachers in state-funded schools across England whether they reject the proposal of an unfunded 6.5 percent increase over three years for teacher pay, and would be prepared to take industrial action to win sufficient funding to secure an above inflation pay increase, reduce workload and defend directed time provisions, including the 1,265 hours limit.
We are asking support staff members in state-funded schools in England if they agree that the defence of support staff jobs is essential to Save Education, and if they are prepared to take industrial action to win sufficient funding to secure an above inflation pay increase, reduce workload and prevent redundancies.
Eligibility
Teachers, leaders and support staff employed in state-funded schools (primary and secondary) in England are eligible to vote in the ballot.
State-funded schools include community schools (local authority maintained), academies and free schools, foundation and voluntary schools, and grammar schools.
