It was founded in 2011 as an alternative option to the traditional teaching unions. It is an independent, private organisation and not classed as a trade union. Edapt is apolitical and does not take part in lobbying activities. Its Chief Executive is John Roberts[1] a former secondary-school teacher and current vice-president of the British Mountaineering Council. The organisation is based in Manchester, England. HistoryIn 2012, Edapt commissioned an independent report from the education youth think tank, LKMco[2], which for the first time investigated teachers’ reasons for joining a trade union and their perceptions of them. Following publication of this report Edapt raised capital from a number of investors, 90% of whom were or had been teachers. After building resource with a number of teachers, legal firms, insurance specialists and education experts, Edapt launched publicly in September 2012.[3] Chief Executive, John Roberts explains about the origins of the organisation,“I came away thinking about allegations, and strike action, and why people were switched off from unions. I started wondering why no one had created an alternative so I thought I would investigate the barriers to entry”[4] The Independent explains that Edapt was established "... after a survey showed 44% of teacher trade union members were not interested in taking any form of industrial action."[5]In a 2013 speech, the then Secretary of State for Education, Michael Gove, explained that, "Now there is no need for teachers to feel they have to join a union if they want full employment protection - they can get impartial legal and employment advice from an organisation without a political agenda."[6] See also
