Question regarding striking staff - and who covers their classes/duties?

[Hulababy]

I posted this in the thread below but thought it might have a better chance of being answered on its own maybe.

I will be striking next week.


I am a HLTA. My role is to cover PPA in an afternoon - so next Tuesday, I am due to cover PPA for a class teacher. It is a lesson I plan, prep and deliver every week.

As far as I know, I should not be required to move this PPA time and do it for the teacher at another time.

However, the PPA is a legal entitlement for the class teacher.

Also, if the teacher is striking - no one is allowed to cover her duties. This includes her teaching of classes and any duties. But what if it is me who is supposed to be teaching - is anyone else allowed to cover my class?

And what about my morning break duty - I have one (an inside First Aid duty) every Tuesday morning break?

I have alerted the HT to this issue and she said she will contact HR for clarification for herself so she can plan accordingly.

But does anyone here know the answer?

Leadership will babysit the class.

Thanks - seen other thread; thanks for info.

I did wonder about leadership but not sure they are available to do so. There is also another TA and teacher who will be affected - so two classes.
