Scottish teaching union reports increase in compensation settlements

Scotland’s largest teaching union, the Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS) has secured almost £700,000 in compensation settlements for members injured at work over the past year, representing an increase of more than 100 per cent, compared to the 2019 figure of just over £290,000. The payments were awarded for a wide range of workplace injuries, including those caused by accident, assault or poor working environment.
