Is the NHS payment going to all NHS workers or just the COVID frontline?

Because a lot have nhs have had the easiest year ever with ops being cancelled etc, so is it going to be targeted?

Is Mary here?

thistlegirl as a support worker in a school, if you hadn't come into the hubs would you have been able to do work from home, set online learning and give feedback etc? If not, can you see why there might have been more non-teaching education staff in the hubs?
I was in hubs fortnightly, it was hard to catch up on the online work even with just that time away.

Well funny that the few teachers that came in managed to do all the work they needed and admitted that they were done in the mornings and had the rest of the time to do what they wanted. What I am getting at is we were the ones that were on the frontline not knowing how this was going to pan out and worried about transferring to our families while teachers were sat at home. Other schools actually had teachers who did one day each over 3 weeks to let the support staff have a break!! Or are our lives not worth bothering with??? I do find teachers tend to think themselves better than others for some reason...not all but there is definitely a hierarchy and supporting staff are at the bottom of the pile in giving a shit about them.

In your school teachers had little work to do, in your school they did not pull their weight with regard to staffing hubs.
I thought hub staffing was optional, I know I had to volunteer it wasn't assumed. Back then many were shielding/living with someone who was shielding and that was enough of a reason not to do it. Also, we were not always picked when we volunteered, we did not write the rotas.
I'm sorry your school does not sufficiently value non-teaching staff. That hasn't been my experience. Maybe look for a different school when all this ends?

Lucky you got to volunteer because we never, that I believe was what the teaching union were telling them. Not in our case most of them chose not to volunteer. You sound very patronising and rude. Hope you're not like that towards support staff in the school you work in. I hadn't realised it was MY school!! Bet hey ho. In my years of experience a very good teacher does treat support staff with respect and values them. However crap ones do not!! I would never work in another school again and have worked in Primary also and it's not much better.

I'm not the one who was rude. You've implied teachers didn't work in lockdown, don't care about the lives of support staff and think we're better than you.
Anyway, not what this thread was about.
