Part of 1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Education – in the Senedd at 2:16 pm on 4 October 2017.
Cabinet Secretary, one way to help reduce unnecessary burdens on teachers is to encourage a greater dialogue between school leaders and teachers through informal workload impact assessments whenever new policies are introduced, so that a constructive and frank discussion about the impact of Government policies is always taking place. Therefore, I’d be grateful if you could tell us if this is something that you are advocating, and, if so, could you also tell us a bit more about how your discussions with headteachers and school leaders about the introduction of some kind of workload impact assessments are currently progressing?
