Why doesn’t everything go through TDA RA (Training and Development Agency for Schools Regional Advisor)?
Study Support is part of the Core Offer and therefore should be recorded as such through TDA. The TDA database (ESP) only carries the status of each element of the core offer. It makes no claims about quality or reach. TDA RAs are not experts in the quality delivery of the core offer but are experts in remodelling and managing change. ContinYou and 4Children provide the content expertise that TDA staff don’t have generally. In many cases the provision of study support/oshl activities preceded the advent of the core offer and the core offer recognises the significant role played by study support in the past and now brings it to the point where it is an essential element of all school provision. As a result of government backing for study support prior to the extended school/services agenda, the funding for the different support teams comes from different teams within the DfES. By having separate teams we are able to provide more detailed support, more accurate information and work more
