048 - Know Your Rights
Manage episode 480856623 series 3610145
This week’s Pit Pony Podcast is a bit different - it’s just Sharon and Sarah, no guest, but lots of honesty, insight and real talk.
We’re kicking off a three-part mini-series by tackling one of the biggest foundations of protecting yourself at work: knowing your rights.
From understanding the Burgundy Book and STPCD (NB Sarah had a little moment and forgot that the ‘S’ stands for ‘School’!), to decoding part-time contracts, directed hours, capability procedures, and those "informal support plans" (spoiler: they're not really a thing) - we’re arming you with the knowledge you need.
We also get a bit feisty about the dangers of assuming your school will always do the right thing - and how knowing your legal rights can empower you in tough situations.
This is a must-listen if you're still in teaching, navigating challenges, or planning your exit.
Subscribe and hit the bell so you don't miss it - and if you found this helpful, leave a comment or share it with a teacher who needs to hear it.
