GMB Union has responded to a Government announcement it will spend billions to make mainstream schools in England more inclusive for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND)
Stacey Booth, GMB National Officer, said:
“Of course this funding is very welcome.
"But we cannot deliver an inclusive approach if opportunities for training and development only extend to headteachers and teaching staff.
“Support staff play a crucial role in SEND provision and must be included in any skills or workforce strategy.”
