This pooled arrangement gives schools the confidence that, should a member of staff be absent due to maternity, there would be no cost to the school thanks to the existing budget provision for that staff member. Trade Union Facility Time (TUFT) This service, delivered on behalf of HES and trade unions, enables the pooled provision of Trade Union Facility Time (TUFT), which allows reasonable facility time for trade union representatives to carry out trade union duties and training (based on individuals’ union membership), ensuring broad representation
of union members in Havering’s schools and academies. Please note, the pooled funding for facility time for LA maintained primary schools has been de-delegated in agreement with the Schools Funding Forum. De-delegation is not permitted for academies or special schools; instead, charges are made at a price per pupil or a price per place. The following trade unions receive facility time:

Support staff UNISON GMB

negotiation, representation and personnel for trade union members on matters connected with terms and conditions, such as: l Attendance and representation at meetings with and on behalf of union members in relation to issues where school-based employees have a statutory right to representation, e.g. grievances, redundancy, TUPE transfers, etc. l Representation for members at management meetings on matters of local and joint interest l Branch secretaries are funded through the pooled arrangements. They are senior, experienced trade union representatives with expertise on employment matters.
