By joining NSEAD, you will have access to huge range of member benefits.
On one level I am part of a subject specialist community of Art & Design educators who share ideas and resources. On another level, in times of need, I can access personalised help to get me back to work with support and guidance. I feel, with NSEAD, so well supported and in caring hands.
Trade Union membership represents outstanding value for money, meeting all your professional needs in one low-cost fee.
Fantastic value for money - I'm getting two for the price of one! My NSEAD membership covers everything for the same price as joining one of the other Trade Unions. One of the best things about being an art teacher!
We protect and promote our educators, learners and our subject!
NSEAD unites arts educators of all phases and stages; contribute to the big issues and let’s ensure we can be the best educators for every pupil and trainee.
