Consultation on proposed changes to the English Language Support Service

Norfolk County Council is proposing to change the way that the English Language Support Service operates. We want to make changes to the service to ensure that all children and young people who have English as an additional language are supported to do well at school, and to make sure that the service is financially secure. We are proposing a new way of working that places a much greater emphasis on training and supporting school staff, building their capacity and helping them to raise and sustain standards themselves.

We want to understand what schools think of our proposals. Further information about the proposed changes, and details of how to respond to the consultation can be found in the attached document or www.citizenspace.com. Click here for a direct link to the survey.
