February 1 strikes: Full list of strikes in Sussex today

Teachers:

Members of the National Education Union (NEU), the UK's largest education union with 450,000 members, has announced seven days of strikes in February and March, the first takes place today (February 1). Here are the dates relevant to Sussex:

February 1: All schools in England and Wales

March 2: South-east and south-west England, and London

March 15-16: All schools in England and Wales

Some schools may only be impacted in a small way but others may have to tell parents that their children will need to remain at home because there are not enough members of staff to safely look after them.
