NASUWT Supply Teachers Survey 2022-Wales.

SECTION 1 - Your experience working as a Supply Teacher during the academic year 2021/22.

Thank you for completing the NASUWT 2022 Supply Teachers Survey. This year we are keen to get your views on issues across the whole of your experience as a supply teacher, particularly given the challenges of the last 12 months.

Anonymised survey responses will be shared with third party researchers and NASUWT partner organisations for research and analysis purposes only. The analysis will be used to help us inform policy, influence public debate and lobby government on our members’ behalf. It will also help the NASUWT improve our services to members. Only aggregated and anonymised data will be shared and published, and it will not be possible to identify individual respondents.

We recognise and uphold our obligations under the UK Data Protection Act 2018 and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and our responsibilities as a data controller to the Information Commissioner’s Office.

For more information about how we process personal data, please see the NASUWT’s privacy policy at http://www.nasuwt.org.uk/privacypolicy.
