A New Deal for FE - page icon

Ask your MP to help ensure extra funding for England's colleges is spent on staff

Ask your MP to make representations to the education secretary

Further education (FE) has been neglected for many years and staff have suffered as a result with some of the worst pay cuts in the education sector and spiraling workloads leading to a recruitment and retention crisis. We urgently need the £300m extra FE funding announced in the budget to be used by colleges to pay their staff fairly.

We have drafted a pro forma letter for UCU members to send to their England MP to support a New Deal for FE and call on the government to ensure the extra funding is spent on staff.

Important PLEASE NOTE THIS ACTION ONLY INVOLVES MPs IN ENGLAND

MPs are more likely to take account of a personalised letter so please take 5 to 10 minutes to add information about your own situation.
