As NUT President in 1993, my slogan was “Uniting the Profession, Shaping the Future”. That vision remains just as relevant today, so I am delighted to endorse Gawain Little in his campaign to be NEU Deputy General Secretary. The creation of NEU is a huge step forward in uniting the profession. Gawain is the candidate with the commitment, energy, skills and vision to make the new Union a real force for change in the interests of children, teachers, parents and society as a whole. He is a dedicated and inspiring teacher as well as a tireless worker on behalf of his colleagues and Union members. He is what the NEU needs to shape the future!
