National College Deputy Chief Executive Toby Salt to lead independent review
Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families Ed Balls has announced that he is commissioning National College Deputy Chief Executive Toby Salt to lead an independent review into the supply of teachers trained to meet the needs of children with severe learning difficulties, and profound and multiple learning difficulties.
The DCSF has issued a press release confirming the appointment.
National College Chief Executive Steve Munby welcomed the appointment saying it is a huge vote of confidence in Toby and an accolade for the National College.
Ed Balls said: "It is important that we continue to support schools working with children with the most complex needs, and that we have sufficient staff using the most effective teaching strategies. That is why I am asking Toby Salt to lead an independent review into the supply of teachers for pupils with severe learning difficulties, and profound and multiple learning difficulties.
"This will run alongside the work by the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust, led by the international expert Professor Barry Carpenter, OBE, to evaluate what teachers at the leading edge of practice are doing and share this across schools".
Toby Salt said: “I’m delighted to be asked to chair this review. The National College is determined that all children should have the best possible education. This review will help ensure some of the most vulnerable and complex learners in our system have the focus they deserve”.
