How many people invoked section 44?

[Amyness66]

Just that really it all seems to be very unclear but roughly what percentage of primary teachers have invoked section 44? Furthermore yabu- they should, yanbu- they shouldn’t

Posted for traffic sorry if you don’t want to see it please hide if you don’t. Although there have been others about this subject none asking this question

How the hell would anyone know that? It's not a public post, it's a letter from members of staff to their HT.

I'll bite, what's section 44?

🤦🏻‍♀️

What is section 44???

Google says it's a health and safety clause in the employment rights act

A "considerable number of staff" at DD's primary school according to the email sent out today. Head is going to decide on possible closure tomorrow (INSET day). She clearly doesn't support it though given the tone of the email. We're Tier 3 with more cases than some Tier 4 areas. Luckily our local council has issued a statement saying that they will not fine parents who choose not to send kids in.

The headmaster from my youngests school sent out an email today to say a number of staff won't be in tomorrow because of it but that our children may have different teachers etc etc but their education won't be affected so I would say quite a lot throughout the country tbh

Nobody knows.

YABU.

What is section 44???

It's what allows teachers to be off of work, their working conditions are considered unsafe. There have been approx 5495357 threads on schools today.
