We are the parents of children affected by the strike action within the GDST Trust as a result of the decision to  alter the TPS scheme for teaching staff. Our children, many of whom have important public exams shortly, are being badly affected. Since the parties have been unable to come to a resolution of the problem we consider that outside independent assistance is required  . We call upon both parties to  seek the assistance and expertise of ACAS to resolve this dispute as soon as possible.
