If it didn't agree with the remit, it should have CHANGED it, not REMOVED it. Now the TDA is gone as well, replaced by the Teaching Agency which does not deal with non-classroom-based support staff. This is now apparently for LAs or individual schools to handle, and as we all know, they will simply ignore this - unless somebody MAKES them, Mr Gove/Gibb!

Teachers are striking over "insulting" offers when support staff have already had such conditions (pay freezes etc.) imposed on them. Pay variance is insulting - as much as 100% difference - and the sentiment that we are not necessary to a school is a constant rebuke to our professionalism, our care and our hard-working ethos.

Teachers are expected to undertake training and are given time and money for this. This is an area requiring major improvement - support staff are effectively becoming de-skilled unless they undertake CPD at their own expense.

This does not mean we drag those others down to our level though, we must raise the options and support for all support staff within education. Hiding behond "It is up to the school" or "The LA is at fault" is not a suitable answer!
