LNCT Agreements
Under the terms of the 2001 Agreement, A Teaching Profession for the 21st Century, certain matters were devolved to Local Negotiating Committees for Teachers for local agreement (Annex F).
LNCTs are required to have constitutions setting out the recognition and procedures arrangements. In addition to a negotiating function, LNCTs will also provide a consultative mechanism.
