NOTE WELL : If you intend to continue to teach either as a supply teacher or in part-time, you need to ensure you are fully legally covered by paying the discounted level of NASUWT full membership. Again, inform Rednal.
Welcome to the website of the NASUWT Federation of Retired Members' Associations.
NASUWT members who retire from teaching can continue their association with the Union by becoming Retired Members by the payment of a small subscription by direct debit to Rednal. Simply inform the Membership Dept. of your change of status.
Retired Members will become members of the RETIRED MEMBERS’ ASSOCIATION in their area. There are now about 25 such R.M.A. and more are being encouraged to form.
If there is as yet no R.M.A. in the area, a newly Retired Member will be added to the list of CENTRALLY ATTACHED members and will receive information regularly from the FEDERATION OF R.M.A.
SERVICES FOR RETIRED MEMBERS.
All NASUWT members on retiring from teaching have continuing access to the following benefits irrespective of age and circumstances of leaving the profession and whether or not they pay a Retired Member’s subscripton.
Entitlement to NASUWT legal and professional representation in relation to any matter arising from former teaching employment
at a time when the individual concerned was in subscription paying
membership of
the Union.
Entitlement to apply for benevolence assistance in the unfortunate
event of the former member and/or his financial dependants experiencing
hardship.
Entitlement to advice in respect of Teacher Pension scheme matters.
SUBSCRIPTION FOR RETIRED MEMBERSHIP.
Most retirees choose to pay a small subscription to continue in membership of NASUWT as a Retired Member. Inform the NASUWT Membership Department at Rednal of your change of status. You will be sent the relevant letter of invitation to join and your subscription will be collected by direct debit, as before.
Honorary Life Members
Those who have been made NASUWT Honorary Life Members by the National Executive in recognition of their outstanding contribution to the activities of the Union are entitled to receive all the benefits of retired membership of the Union and are not required to pay any national subscription. They are required to make appropriate arrangements each year to pay the relevant subscription directly to their Retired Members’ Association.
Retired Members who are still Supply or Part-time teaching:
Retired Members who are still engaged in Supply or Part-time teaching may be members of their Retired Members’ Association, and should pay their subscriptions directly to their R.M.A. They must take care to register themselves at Rednal as still teaching, by paying the reduced subscription for their category of Union membership. This will give them full membership entitlements to NASUWT benefits, in particular, the legal protection that defends their interests as active teachers.
