Rejected petition Pay Review for Support Staff in Education.

Support staff pay scales need to be reviewed and increased.
The inner London Teacher pay scales need to be applied to Greenwich Support Staff who currently receive Outer London pay.

More details

The cost of living crisis is affecting us all but those on a lower wage are facing a disproportional burden making basic life necessities such as heating and food much harder to purchase.

Workload for support staff has significantly increased due to general teacher workloads, increase in SEN pupil numbers, reduction overall of Support Staff meaning that the workload of existing Support Staff who have stayed in education has disproportionately increased and continues to do so.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Schools are free to set their pay and most mirror local government pay scales, so decisions about what pay scales to use in Greenwich are a matter for the schools in that area.

We have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:

Fund Better Pay for Support Staff in Education: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/635276

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
