The target group for this workshop is NZEI activists who have been duly nominated and endorsed by NZEI executive structures to act as support people for members who are requiring additional support in order to resolve issues.

Participants may come from a range of professional backgrounds within the union but all would have held additional responsibilities within the union prior to taking on this role. The role and intention of MSP is to enable those members who wish to have additional support to resolve issues, being able to access people who have had training in low level resolution.  MSP people are advertised across regions and enable members to speak to others who are not so intimately involved in their own workplace but still have a good understanding of the professional and industrial issues that workers may be facing within their workplace.
