Facility Time is time off from an individual’s job to undertake trade union duties.

There is a statutory right for trade union representatives to receive reasonable paid time off and all employers are under a statutory obligation to provide Facility Time. For more information about Facility Time, please click here.

We need to ensure that this mechanism is in place for our Local Representatives. Please tell us if your employer meets their responsibilities regarding Facility Time below. (Please select one):

Yes, my employer contributes to Local Authority pooled arrangements
Yes, my employer has agreed an in-house facility time agreement with trade unions
Yes, my employer has agreed to allow paid time off for trade union duties and activities but doesn’t have a formal facility time agreement that I am aware of
No, my employer is not currently meeting their responsibilities with regard to facility time

Is there any more information about facility time which you think we should know?:

To ensure that we are able to meet the needs of members in the fluctuating landscape of education, ASCL makes decisions about deployment of Local Representatives dynamically, based on the availability of Facility Time and the differing needs of each locality. This means that occasionally the number of candidates may exceed the number of Local Representatives required. In such cases, we will invite all full members in the relevant employer group to vote in an online ballot. All candidates’ personal statements will be published to members eligible to vote unedited.

Please provide, in no more than 150 words, a personal statement outlining why you would like to join ASCL as a Local Representative and what you feel you would bring to the Association in this role:

Is there any general information about your application which you would like us to know at this stage?:

I agree

Please note that we will only do this for up to 18 months from the date that you submit this form
