AEP Dispute - States of Jersey

22/10/2024

Following agreement of the National Executive Committee and with effect from October 2024, the AEP is in dispute with The States of Jersey.

This unfortunate situation has arisen due to the failure of the employer to deal appropriately with matters raised by Educational Psychologists in the course of their work.

AEP Officials will continue to work with senior officers to resolve the matters which have led to this dispute. Until the dispute is lifted, the AEP cannot recommend Jersey as an appropriate or safe place for AEP members to work. As a result of this failure, the AEP cannot recommend Jersey as a safe and appropriate place for members to work. The AEP will not carry any adverts for the States of Jersey during this time.

What is a dispute?

 

Occasionally, the AEP enters a dispute with an employer. There are various reasons why this happens, but it is always a last resort and only happens when the National Executive Committee believes that entering the dispute will, ultimately, be in members' best interests in the longer term.
