The purpose of this module is to explore support roles within settings considering their responsibilities, duties, knowledge and experience and how this may differ within varying types of provisions.
Support roles compromise all staff who assist in the learning and support of children for example Higher Level Teaching Assistants (HLTA’s), teaching assistants, special needs support staff, early years practitioners, minority ethnic pupils support staff and bilingual assistants.
While most support staff roles are employed by settings or schools, some are employed by local authority services and work across a range of provisions, therefore it is essential students have an understanding of the varying roles and responsibilities.
