Join our accredited professional development and training programme, access a nationwide timetable of seminars for newly qualified teachers, leaders and supply teachers, and come along to our Equalities Consultation Conferences - all FREE.

Plus exclusive member benefits, including insurance offers, High St discounts and legal services that put money back in your pocket.

And your first six months is on us - FREE [T&Cs]

Any teachers joining the NASUWT for the first time will receive 6 months of free membership from the point they join the Union. This is reliant on the joining member providing direct debit details for payment of future subscriptions at the point of joining. Student and newly qualified teachers should refer to the separate offers the NASUWT runs for these teachers.

The NASUWT is a democratic, member-led organisation which operates to defend and advance members’ interests. This is done with the participation of the members who can get involved as workplace representatives, by joining the local Executive Committee (EC), by attending General Meetings and events and as Conference delegates or voting for Conference motions. Any Stockport member who would like to find out more about being involved with the local executive or attending the regional or annual conferences should contact the Secretary
