Scoping Study, Part 6 – Qualifications of professionals: School sector issues

Bearing in mind the complexities described above, the proportion of ToDs with recognised ToD postgraduate qualifications (approximately three quarters) did not change between 2003 and 2007.

Qualifications among the relatively large proportion of staff with generic ‘learning support’ titles are inconsistent, and more information is needed on the exact nature of linguistic access and support provided by them (see further explorations of role definitions and regional variations below).

More information is needed on the national picture regarding specific training and qualifications relating to linguistic assessments and language planning (both spoken language and BSL).
