Industrial Action

20th Mar 2022

Message from the Education Authority 

https://www.eani.org.uk/industrialactionupdates

Industrial action by Unite the Union is planned from Monday 21st March 2022 until Sunday 27th March 2022 and will impact some education and youth services.

We are working hard with schools, youth services and our partners to minimise the impact on children and young people as a result of the industrial action.

Whilst the majority of schools, youth and other EA services are expected to operate as normal or with minimal disruption, it is likely that the strike action will have an impact on some transport, school meals and cleaning services.

It is also anticipated that there could be disruption to a number of Special Schools, particularly in the Greater Belfast area, as regular transport for children may not be available, and there may also be a number of Classroom Assistants taking part in Unite’s Industrial action.

We will make every effort to keep parents, children and young people informed on the latest updates via this webpage, our social media channels and through our schools. 

However, in some cases, particularly at the start of the week, services may be disrupted at such short notice that advance notification will not be possible, so considering alternative arrangements now is very important, particularly in relation to transport and school meals.

Please note that this information may be subject to change and it is advisable to check back regularly.
