Mr. Andy Pike:

To avoid the inherent precarious employment that SNAs have experienced since 1979, we have agreed in principle a redeployment scheme. If the number of SNAs needed in any single school decreases in a given year, those SNAs can be redeployed to a school where new SNA posts are being established or, indeed, where a vacancy arises, in the same way as teachers have the ability to be redeployed. That will be a game-changer for SNAs.
