Following scrutiny, the report was noted.

The Head of Education Development advised members that the report outlined the progress of support visits by Education Support Officers (ESO’s) in schools. The report provided information on how the Education Development Service carries out support visits. It was noted that the report does not capture all support, as additional support is provided to schools as and when required.

The Chair commented on the high calibre of ESO’s in Neath Port Talbot and it was noted that the support given to schools is making a difference. The Chair asked officers to feedback the thoughts of the committee; the work is of high importance and much appreciated.
