Vote Ian Watkinson

for NEU National Executive

Elections for the National Education Union NEC run from 3 April to 29 April 2025

Stand up for education: vote for Ian Watkinson for National Executive member.

I pledge to:

- Tackle the workload crisis.
- Campaign on funding and pay.
- Organise around health & safety.
- Take action to make schools safe.
- Represent the interests of educators from all sectors in the North West at a national level

I have a proven track record on:

Organising around Health & Safety, including leading on the union's work during the Covid pandemic. I led on the Section 44 initiative that saved thousands of lives.
Leading on training and organising to help encourage and build a strong reps and activist base.
Working with other trade unions both in the education sector and beyond, to build coalitions that can deliver real solidarity.

"I am supporting Ian Watkinson for the National Executive. He has been immense over the last few years on health and safety and was instrumental in organising the section 44 advice in 2021. Please support him and vote for him if he is on your ballot paper."

NEU National Executive

"Ian was a great help to Disabled members during the pandemic. He facilitated the close working of the Health and Safety and the Disabled Members Organising Forums. He suggested actions that kept many of our members both Disabled and Non-Disabled safe in school. He is a calm, level-headed problem solver and we need him back on our National Executive."
