About the SNCT

SNCT is a tripartite body comprising members from teaching organisations, Local Authorities, and the Scottish Government.

The 2001 teachers' agreement, A Teaching Profession for the 21st Century, introduced a new negotiating framework for teachers' pay and conditions of service.

The SNCT is chaired jointly by representatives from each side

  • Des Morris (Teachers' Side)
  • Councillor Gail Macgregor (Employers' Side)
  • Andy Drought (Scottish Government)

They are supported by 3 Joint Secretaries:

  • Louise Wilson (Teachers' Side)
  • Tom Young (Employers' Side)
  • Stephanie Walsh (Scottish Government).

The SNCT recently merged the 2 standing working groups Conditions of Service and the Review of Local Negotiating Committees into the SNCT Support Group The remit of this group can be found here.
