School Support Staff -
School Support Staff Negotiating Body
(SSSNB) to be abolished
On 28
October, the Secretary of State for Education confirmed that the SSSNB
would be abolished. The Department of Education decided that the Body
did not fit well with its priority of greater deregulation of pay and
conditions arrangements for the school workforce.
Legislation will be introduced to abolish the SSSNB at the earliest
opportunity using the first session Education Bill as the legislative
vehicle.
All matters referred to
the SSSNB for consideration have been withdrawn with immediate effect.
These matters included the production of a core contract of employment;
national job role profiles for school support staff; a job evaluation scheme
for converting the job role profiles into a salary structure and a strategy
for implementing the national pay and conditions framework in all
maintained schools in England.
School
support staff trade unions will submit a joint apply to Michael Gove to
retain the SSSNB. UNISON will campaign to continue to develop its
response in the face of the abolition of the body.
