UNISON has produced a useful guide for support staff in schools. The Little Pocket Book holds a range of information that you will find useful no matter what support role you have in a school.

The booklet gives detailed advice on issues important to support staff working in schools. It is the first of its kind and includes information on school matters relating to pupils and parents, employment law, educational visits, health & safety and a large section on special needs. The guide covers current legislation and highlights variations for the countries in the U.K. It also provides a good source of information, websites and places to get further guidance and is becoming this year's must-have accessory for school support staff

Copies of the Support Staff Little Pocket Book are available from UNISON branches in England and Wales.
