The SNCT Handbook of Conditions of Service
Part 1
Introduction
On 1 April 2007 the national agreement A Teaching Profession for the 21st Century created a body known as the Scottish Negotiating Committee for Teachers (SNCT).
The SNCT is a tripartite negotiating body whose constituent members are drawn from the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities (COSLA), the Scottish Government and the recognised trade unions representing teachers in Scotland. Appendix 1.1 sets out the constitution of the SNCT.
The principal purpose of the SNCT is to negotiate collective agreements on salaries and conditions of service that assist the development of a highly skilled and motivated teaching profession.
As the negotiating body accountable to the teaching profession in Scotland, the SNCT recognises its responsibilities in terms of equality legislation and is committed to equal opportunities in employment and service delivery. The SNCT values and promotes equality and diversity in the workplace, in schools and in the community and will ensure that its agreements support this commitment and do not discriminate on grounds of age, gender, marital status, disability, race, ethnicity, colour, religion and/or belief, trade union activity, sexual orientation and gender reassignment.
The SNCT is committed to:
a) valuing the contribution of all who work within Scottish education;
b) promoting equality and diversity within Scottish education and it's communities;
c) challenging discrimination;
d) promoting core values of social justice, equality and diversity;
e) integrating equality and diversity into all its activities; and
f) reviewing and monitoring its procedures, agreements and policies to ensure legal compliance.
The SNCT Handbook contains the National Scheme of Salaries and Conditions of Service for Teachers and Associated Professionals. This replaces the Scheme of Salaries and Conditions of Service for Teaching Staff in Schools Education (the 'Yellow Book') and all preceding SNCT Circulars. Appendix 1.2 provides definitions for terms used in the National Scheme.
The National Scheme applies to all teachers and associated professionals and those employees on part-time or temporary contracts will be treated in same way as employees on full-time or permanent contracts. The Code of Practice on the Use of Temporary Contracts, Part 2: Appendix 2.8, embeds the SNCT's commitment to fair treatment and its compliance with the relevant legislation.
