How is PAQT different
to current Teacher support?
Maximum £90 per year
Our fees are between £5.00 and £7.50 per month with discounts for students, supply teachers and part-timers.
No member will pay more than £90 per year and if you don’t need to use your PAQT membership, you will receive No Claims Discount reductions in subsequent years.
The others
Between £205 and £232 per year
Typically, membership in 2022 is between £17-18 per month. This is between £205 and £232 per year.
All fees are allocated to caseworker support
PAQT exists solely to provide a casework ‘service’ to teachers in their moment of need or when they have a query.
PAQT does not have huge overheads and costs. All fees are allocated only to fund caseworker support so our members get support when they need it.
With PAQT, you will receive continuity of support from the same caseworker throughout, who will reassuringly get to know you, your case and your specific circumstances.
The others
Fees required to cover a full range of business requirements
The established teacher representative bodies support their members through Local teacher activists (fellow members), Member support services via email and telephone and Local Regional centres.
Specialist Trained Caseworker
PAQT employs only trained caseworkers who have specialist knowledge and experience across all school sector settings.
The others
Fees required to cover a full range of business requirements
The established teacher representative bodies have to support Head Office, Annual Conference, Regional Centres, Employees & Pensions, Training, Communication, Political Lobbying, International Commitments, Lease vehicles, Travel and subsistence costs and sundry costs that are paid for by membership fees.
No
PAQT members are not able to go on strike as PAQT is not a Trade Union. We know that many teachers are opposed to strike action as are we.
The others
Yes
Trade Unions have a legal status that enables them to call their members out on strike, as long as certain legal balloting member thresholds tests are met.
