Chapter 6: Understanding the roles of specialist colleagues

• Q5 Recognise and respect the contribution that colleagues, parents and carers can make to the development and well-being of children and young people and to raising their levels of attainment.

• Q20 Know and understand the roles of colleagues with specific responsibilities, including those with responsibility for learners with special educational needs and disabilities and other individual learning needs.

This set of slides looks at the role of one colleague with whom we will all interact, and a role we are all likely to have - the form tutor.

This Word document provides advice from the TDA on the use of outside speakers.
