These NUT notes are designed to help student teachers to understand the legal framework and to help in teaching practice and later in professional life.
Teachers work within a legal framework which gives rights to and places duties on those within the education service. It is also a requirement of the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) in England that primary and secondary and further education (FE), sixth form and early years teachers assessed for qualified teacher status (QTS) “are aware of, and work within, the statutory framework relating to teachers' responsibilities." The Welsh Assembly Government (WAG) notes similar requirements.
These NUT notes provide information on the legal framework for teachers beginning their careers. NUT members who believe that they need legal advice should contact the appropriate NUT regional office in England, or NUT Cymru in Wales.
