ABSTRACT
The changes in the way that advisers and inspectors are working in some authorities have resulted in a more limited amount of time and responsibility for supporting and advising teachers than was available to the service in the past. There will, of course, be advice stemming from inspection, but followup help may be limited or may be given by a different group of people, perhaps advisers who do not inspect or advisory teachers. In other authorities the idea of a right of each establishment to a certain proportion of adviser time has been pursued. Yet others are moving towards the idea that establishments should purchase the advisory help they need. There are also LEAs where the role of the pastoral adviser is very important and is built into the review process.
