• Are there barriers affecting the availability of specialists (including for example, subject specialist teachers)? How might they be addressed?

Background

We need further evidence to ensure that we have people across the education and children's social care sectors with the best possible knowledge, skills, and experience, and who are motivated, inspired and enabled to deliver our Opportunity Mission. This includes ensuring we understand how and when specialists are best deployed. (For brevity, please read all references to children as encompassing both children and young people where appropriate).
