A spokesperson for the NASUWT says 'collective communication' is crucial in protecting the health and safety of teaching professionals.
Geraldine O'Neill was speaking after a meeting with the Department of Education, Sport and Culture this week, to discuss government's proposals to start sending children back to school.
