Meeting: 27/02/2023 - Petitions Committee (Item 3)

3 P-06-1317 Recognise Teaching Assistants as an important asset to schools by raising wage

Supporting documents:

Minutes:

The Committee considered the petition and agreed to write to the Welsh Local Government Association to ask:

 

  • their view on how to improve pay and working conditions for TAs;
  • what can they do to encourage local authorities to adopt the new job descriptions being developed;
  • what work is specifically happening to ensure TAs have full year contracts rather than term-time only: and

whether they believe that increasing local authority budgets for education and ring-fencing a % for TA employment would be an effective way of addressing some of the challenges.
