Dear parent/carer,
Following recent industrial action by teacher unions, I am writing to inform you that the teacher unions, the Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS), the Scottish Secondary Teachers’ Association (SSTA) and the Association of Head Teachers and Deputes (AHDS) intend to carry out further industrial action over the national pay offer and their members plan to strike in January 2023. The dates are:
I wanted to get in touch with you directly as the impact of the industrial action may mean that you will need to consider additional childcare arrangements on these dates.
Head teachers will be in contact again before early learning establishments and schools finish for the winter holiday to clarify the impact on individual centres and schools.
Please visit the council’s website with the most up to date information at www.northlanarkshire.gov.uk/industrial-action.
Regards,
Derek Brown
Deputy Chief Executive
North Lanarkshire Council

We expect all education establishments, except for our 23 individual family learning centres and 52-week nurseries based in school settings, to be closed to children and pupils on Thursday 24 November 2022 due to industrial action by teaching unions.
This means that all term-time (38-week) early years establishments, school-based nurseries, primary, secondary and additional support needs schools are expected to be closed to pupils and children on Thursday 24 November.
All buildings will remain open to staff during the period of the strike action.
All educational and early years establishments will open as normal on Friday 25 November.
Children and young people should not attend school or nurseries within schools on Thursday 24 November unless they attend an early years establishment on the list below.
You may need to consider alternative arrangements for childcare.
As all early years establishments and schools facilities will be closed to children and young people, there will not be any school meal provision on site, and there will not be any school transport (mainstream and ASN), breakfast clubs or school crossing patrols on Thursday 24 November.
Families in receipt of free school meals on the basis of low income will be reimbursed via a direct payment to bank accounts or via Paypoint voucher to postal addresses which may take up to five working days.
Teachers, early years and other school support staff who are not striking, will continue to work from their place of work on the day of the strike.
If your child attends one of the family learning centres or school-based nurseries that are open 52 weeks of the year as listed below, then they can still attend on Thursday 24 November as the facilities will be open.
