School librarians concerned over staffing review
The Education (review of staffing structure) Regulations 2005 have placed a duty on Schools and LEAs (where appropriate) to review every maintained school’s staffing structure and prepare a plan for the full implementation of any changes arising from the review, by 31st December 2005. Changes must be implemented by 31st December 2008. This is part of the workforce remodelling in schools begun in 2003.
The SLA is aware that this is causing some concerns for school librarians in England and Wales due to proposed changes in duties and line managership. The SLA is looking at all the paperwork, speaking to relevant organisations and investigating the implications. We will be issuing a position statement as soon as possible and we hope this will help librarians in negotiations in their schools.
In the meantime any SLA members who are concerned about this issue are welcome to ring the SLA advice line, 01793 791787, and we will do our best to help you.
