Gawain Little

Dear Donna I am writing to you to offer congratulations on your election as General Secretary of the Association of Educational Psychologists (AEP) on behalf of the General Federation of Trade Unions (GFTU). We have a long and proud history working closely with the AEP, most recently supporting the historic industrial action taken by all members. We know the vital role that Educational Psychologists play within our whole society, from supporting those affected by trauma, to supporting the most vulnerable in our communities. We look forward to welcoming you at the next GFTU executive meeting and continuing our close working relationship together. If you need anything from the GFTU, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us. Good luck and congratulations again, you will be excellent. In solidarity

Our general secretary, @gawainlittle.bsky.social , has sent this letter to Donna Wiggett, congratulating her on her recent election as general secretary of our affiliate, @aepsychologists.bsky.social.
