Unions meet DESC to discuss schools' return
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.
On Wednesday, 17 June, pupils currently attending 'hub schools' will be able to return to their normal learning environments.
Mrs O'Neill says the Covid-19 pandemic has thrown up new challenges for the relationship between government and unions:

£41K spent on encouraging people to shop local
Baton of Hope to come back to Isle of Man
CoC 'keen' for continuity of sidecar racing at TT
2026 Manx Grand Prix to begin today
