West Sussex helpline is for stressed teachers in West Sussex to contact the union and the teacher support network when they need help.
However we do get calls from other areas.
The furthest flung query to the WSTA helpline this week was from a teacher in Wales who had found our number on the internet. She wanted to know whether it was part of her job to chase up absences. It was rather flattering but perhaps more NUT branches should consider having a helpline of their own.
The reply to her query is here
In short of course schools follow up on pupils who are absent but the paperwork is not done by teachers so they can concentrate on teaching.
