ABSTRACT

Breaking Barriers to Learning is intended to help all members of this wider school workforce to identify its enormity and examine the sort of work that is being done in our primary schools. It is also about opening an information portal in thinking about different ways of working with children for those who are currently on courses from which they will gain some qualification that identifies them as likely to work with children and young people – indeed, some of the people you might meet working in a school. It helps to provide a broader view of the school workforce if you are aware of who may be working in schools – what they do and how they do it, what barriers they feel they are lifting and how they are doing it.
