Notice from the Education Authority

The Education Authority (EA) has warned of expected disruption to some school services as a result of a notified strike by Unite the Union from Tuesday 25th to Thursday 27th April (three days) and a notified strike by INTO, UTU, NASUWT, NAHT and NEU on Wednesday 26thApril 2023 (one day). We are working with schools, youth services and our partners to minimise any disruption to children and young people caused by the industrial action. However, despite this, there will be disruption to some services. At this stage we anticipate that there will be significant impact for all schools on Wednesday 26th April. On Tuesday 25th and Thursday 27th April the impact is likely to be most significant across some transport and catering services. It is anticipated that there will be an impact on a number of Special Schools, as regular transport for children may not be available, and there may also be a number of Classroom Assistants, who are Unite members, taking part in the industrial action. We encourage parents to check the EA website for regular updates and details of any planned disruption here: www.eani.org.uk/industrialactionupdatesand also EA social media channels.
