Remodelling

Remodelling was a programme designed to help schools implement the National Agreement signed in 2003 by the employers, the [previous] government and school workforce trade unions. The Workforce Agreement Monitoring Group (WAMG) was a unique partnership of the 11 organisations that signed the National Agreement. Its activities covered Wales and England. WAMG provided a series of guidance notes that focus on specific implementation issues.

The new government has decided to discontinue working as part of this unique partnership at national level but WAMG guidance notes are still relevant.

Of particular interest are the following guidance notes:

• On the need for consultation - WAMG Note 1
• The appropriate deployment of support staff - WAMG Note 22
• WAMG guidance on cover supervision
• WAMG guidance on the deployment of higher level teaching assistants
