We would therefore wish to use this opportunity to remind members of the AEP’s policy with respect to industrial action by the members of any other trade union.Association advice to members
The AEP’s advice to members who may be faced with the prospect of non-AEP colleagues taking any form of industrial action comes in two parts --a “General Principle” and a “Golden Rule”.
This guidance could never be wholly definitive. The overall guidance to AEP members is that behaviour at work should, at all times, be “reasonable”. If specific instances arise that members are unsure about, they should refer, in the first place, to their local representative. Alternatively, please contact enquiries@aep.org.uk

The AEP preferred position for Trainee Educational Psychologists in Years 2 & 3 is that they should be employed on the Soulbury scale for Trainee Educational Psychologists. However, many local authorities continue to utilise the bursary scheme, which is a significantly lower rate and causes financial challenges for many.
