It's 10 years since Unison launched Star In Our Schools, a celebration of the work that School Support Staff do on a daily basis in our Schools, all to often not recognised for their achievements in supporting the most vulnerable and challenging of young people.
To mark those 10 years, on Friday 29 November, Unison members and MPs joined together in Westminster for a parliamentary reception. The event was hosted by chair of the UNISON group of MPs and member for Blaydown and Consett, Liz Twist.
Speakers included the secretary of state for education, Bridget Phillipson MP (pictured), UNISON assistant general secretary Jon Richards, and UNISON member Janey Blacklock, a school cook at St Mary’s Primary School.
UNISON is the largest union for school support staff and the event provided the opportunity for MPs to show their support for the campaign and hear from speakers on the importance of these key roles.
Secretary of state for education Bridget Phillipson MP said: “The work that support staff do is vital. Schools couldn’t operate without you, it really is that simple.
