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.
