Making the most
of your membership
ADVICE AND SUPPORT
We’re here to listen to, support and protect our 50,000 members (including Life members) whenever and wherever they need us.
Sometimes things can feel overwhelming. Our confidential counselling helpline (call 0800 917 4055) is open around the clock and provides members with emotional support.
We’re on hand to offer expert advice to help members overcome the many challenges of running a school and managing those who work in it. Our highly skilled advice team (call 0300 30 30 333 and choose option one) fields more than 18,000 calls a year from members.
And it regularly publishes a specialised advice article that adds to the wealth of resources we provide on all aspects of school leadership, from employment issues and matters in the classroom to new legislation. Whether that takes the form of a practical framework, model policy, handy guide or useful checklist, NAHT has the tools our members turn to when they need them.

SPOTLIGHT ON SOME OF OUR PARTNERS
Cybersecurity is a leadership responsibility, not just an IT issue.
In 2024, 71% of secondary schools and 52% of primary schools in the UK reported a cyberattack or data breach (Safer Internet Centre). With threats on the rise, understanding your school’s digital vulnerabilities has never been more critical.
NAHT and Concero have partnered to provide an exclusive cybersecurity report for school leaders across all phases of education in the UK.
This report, known as The Cyber Eyesight Report, compiles publicly available information, including insights from the dark web, to identify potential risks. It offers a clear and effective external review of any gaps in your organisation’s cybersecurity to support you in remaining safe, secure and compliant.
Exclusively for NAHT members, The Cyber Eyesight Report delivers the intelligence needed to protect your school for only £300+VAT.
Since 2018, Education Mutual has been transforming how staff absence protection is managed, providing a non-profit making approach that prioritises schools, their budgets and their people. As the UK’s largest member-owned provider of staff absence protection – recommended by the Department for Education through the CPC framework – we provide an ethical alternative to traditional insurance.
Our multi-award-winning service ensures budget certainty while providing access to a wide range of health and well-being services, which are all included at no additional cost and designed to reduce and prevent absences. This includes face-to-face counselling, physiotherapy, 24/7 GP access, flu vaccinations and occupational health support. Pupil well-being support is also part of the package, allowing you to take a comprehensive, whole-school approach to health and well-being.
Our memberships are tailored to meet the unique needs of each school or trust, combining the extensive coverage of the commercial insurance market with a community-driven ethos akin to that of a local authority. Every membership contribution actively supports member schools, with all surpluses reinvested directly back into the education sector where they’re needed most.
