Support Line turns 10 years old

Last week, we marked the 10th Anniversary of our Support Line with a reception in the Terrace Pavilion at the Houses of Parliament.

Barry Sheerman MP, Chair of the Children, Schools and Families Select Committee, and Vernon Coaker MP, Minister of State for Schools, both spoke at the event, as well as Zoe Speakman, a teacher who had used the Support Line and Julian Stanley, CUSN Chief Executive.

Over a hundred people, including teachers, trade unionists, civil servants and others from education attended the event in the Terrace Pavilion.

As well as marking 10 years of the Support Line, which has dealt with 15,555 calls over the last 12 months alone, the occasion was used an opportunity to celebrate the profession and the contribution that teachers make to society.

The event celebrated the support lines which provide service for CUSN, Teacher Support Network, Teacher Support Scotland and Teacher Support Cymru
