About the Association of Teachers and Lecturers
ATL. The education union – led by education professionals from across the sector and throughout the UK.
ATL recognises the link between education policy and our members’ conditions of employment. Our evidence-based policy making enables us to campaign and negotiate from a position of strength. We champion good practice and achieve better working lives for our members.
We help our members, as their careers develop, through first-rate research, advice, information and legal support.
Our 160,000 members – teachers, lecturers, headteachers and support staff – are empowered to get active locally and nationally. We are affiliated to the TUC, and work with government and employers by lobbying and through social partnership.
