Ukraine Conflict

14/03/2022

With the TUC and fellow unions, we condemn the illegal invasion of a sovereign nation and call for Russia to respect Ukrainian territorial integrity. We join the global union movement in calling for peace and urge all governments to reach a negotiated solution through diplomacy. We send our solidarity to the people of Ukraine and we encourage solidarity between workers across borders.

The AEP recently wrote to our sister union, the National Psychological Association Ukraine to show our solidarity. They responded to us last week to give thanks for our support and said they would be in touch wiith further ways we can support them and their members.

As Educational Psychologists, we feel strongly about the protection of children, everywhere. If you can, please donate to UNICEF's worthwhile campaign to protect children in Ukraine.

We are also keen to support our members, to ensure we can help children in the best way possible. Along with our existing work to help Educational Psychologists supporting refugees, we also have collated resources for talking to children about war and conflict. We welcome anything useful you may have on this topic to share with colleagues.

Soulbury Pay Settlement 2024
In February 2025, after careful consideration from all three Soulbury unions, the Officers' Side reluctantly accepted the 2024 pay offer. The unions put on record their huge disappointment at this outcome, which represents yet another real terms pay cut and another significant worsening of Soulbury pay relative to teachers. The AEP National Executive Committee noted their reluctance to accept and expresses its disappointment at the Employers Side ‘final’ offer, which does not address the real terms decrease in Educational Psychologists’ pay over several years.
