We encourage members of the EIS BAME, Disabled and LGBT Networks to consider standing for election to your local management committee, or to EIS Council which is the principal decision-making body of the Union.

Being involved in these fora can be an empowering and beneficial experience, and an opportunity to raise the profile of issues you care about.

The EIS Equality Committee promotes equality for all teachers and lecturers in Scotland, and leads on a number of projects. For example, anti-racist education, LGBT inclusion, disability equality and gender equality in education.

To find out more about EIS decision making processes and how to become more active in the Union, join one of our informal network meetings:

  • EIS BAME Network
  • EIS Disabled Members’ Network
  • EIS LGBT Network

Information for all members interested in standing for election to Council and Committees of Council for 2024/2025 will be available in December.
