Hampshire Teachers' Liaison Panel (TLP)

How can the TLP help?

Did you know that as a teacher your union represents you and your views on the Hampshire TLP?

The Hampshire TLP represents teachers' interests in consultation and negotiation with the Local Authority and is, as a body, elected from the five recognised headteacher and teacher unions (ASCL, NAHT, NASUWT, NEU and Community the Union). The Panel currently consists of a number of teachers/headteachers and an elected secretary.

Hampshire fund facility time to allow TLP members to discharge their responsibilities and the body meets each half term to discuss developments and issues, and twice in the year meets with the County’s Children's Services senior management team. It also elects representatives to other Hampshire groups:
