As parents we don't take it for granted that they receive the fantastic support at primary level, but if this is removed at secondary level, what is the point in this investment ?

The children who need support will not get it as the numbers of classroom helpers has been cut so much. Also the council are now using untrained staff in there classrooms to cover for cuts made. A disgrace to our children they are our future.

The children who need it, simply need it, we are about meeting needs. The children who don't individually need learning support could be undermined by other children's needs not being met. Central Government needs to stop shirking reponsibilities to vulnerable children and fund local government properly. Local government needs to tell central government to fund it properly not wield the cutting axe, stand up for the vulnerable.

It's the poor children with specific needs who are going to suffer. Also they say they have withdrawn certain responsibilities from our job profile to keep us in the same pay scale, we are going to be doing 3 people's jobs and getting no more pay! (SFL/Classroom Assisatant and the job of the Lunchtime Aux's) Can't see someone else further up the ladder doing 3 peoples jobs for no more pay.....

These children have been put already been denied schools for them and class teachers are already under pressure without denying the additional support. To cut the assistants will affect every child in the class due to these special need children taking up time that other children also require.
