Are you receiving ATL Sandwell’s email bulletin delivered to your desktop?

Members are appreciative of this service, which they find helps them professionally and personally. It also reduces the amount of uncertainly and rumour that circulates in all schools.

Simply bypass the traditional union notice board, often cluttered with out-dated information, and opt for this paperless system which puts you in control.

One single mailing by post to ATL Sandwell members costs the branch around £200 and takes around ten days, by which time you could have received two email bulletins.

To join ATL’s networked learning community simply

and add your name and school

in the text of the email.

Email bulletins contain hot links to the local and national ATL websites, teachernet, DfES, Sandwell’s Local Authority website, and other agencies supporting the work of teachers.

Topics include health and safety updates, information on wellbeing, professional development opportunities, ATL’s training courses, new legislation and support from ATL.

You may unsubscribe at any time either by replying to the email with unsubscribe in the title, or by ringing the branch office 01922 422755, 24-hour message service.

Your email address will be held on our secure database and of course is not disclosed to anyone except ATL HQ.

If you or a colleague need help with simple free ICT training, to receive emails and explore the ATL websites, we can offer that too, even in the comfort of your own school or home, through the Union Learning Initiative. Please contact the branch office for details.
