How it works
Three simple steps.
A walk-through of how the quiz does, so you know exactly what's shaping your results.
A walk-through of how the quiz does, so you know exactly what's shaping your results.
The first two questions — your nation and your role in school — filter the list to only show organisations you're actually eligible to join. There's no point ranking a leadership union for a classroom teacher, or an English union for someone in Northern Ireland.
No name or email required.
The next questions each tilt your profile along one or more values. There are seven of them, and every organisation has a rating on each.
Every organisation is rated against the same seven values on the same scale. That includes Edapt — which built this site and is one of the options listed. As an example: Edapt scores low on collective strength because it isn't a trade union and can't call strikes or do collective bargaining, but it scores higher on individual protection because it focuses on personal casework. A user whose priorities favour strike capability will see Edapt well down their list. A user whose priorities favour individual protection may see it higher. The engine has been built to try to match people up to their best fit. It doesn't present the answers as a final truth — it makes suggestions and poses some further questions for reflection.
The aim of the site is to educate and inform. We believe that teachers and school staff are professionals who can make their own minds up and best decisions for themselves.
We match your priorities against each organisation's values, rank the eligible options, and label each one as a strong match, good match, worth considering or less likely fit.
That's it. No sign-up, no follow-up emails, and nothing that identifies you. You can come back and run it again at any time.
Costs and features change — please verify directly with each organisation before joining.
