I joined this union as I don’t like the main 2 teaching unions - I prefer not to strike and feel they can be a little too reactionary.However, during the recent Corona Virus crisis, Edapt were worse than useless. They closed their offices throughout the Christmas holidays and did not give any advice on the website for teachers like me who were unsure whether to return due to health and safety concerns. Meanwhile the NEU were very proactive holding zoom calls to give advice and answer questions even on the Sunday before term started. The NASUWT offered lots of advice on their website too.Therefore, unfortunately, Edapt is not fit for purpose. If they cannot give advice during the most difficult time for teachers in recent memory, then there is no point in subscribing to their services. They have also refused to cancel my subscription until the full year of membership has expired.Really not impressed. I would advice any teachers who are looking for a union to choose someone else instead.Just to add … Edapt didn’t bother to reply to this message until 7 months after I posted it. That says it all really!!!!
