If you think that teaching assistants should be paid more....

There's a debate scheduled in parliament in a response to a petition to increase the pay of teaching assistants.

They've put a call out for contributions to the debate, it's a really short survey, with a free text box where you can write a longer comment. All are welcome to contribute!

I've completed it. Hopefully, many more will spot it this weekend and add their views, I hadn't known anything about this before today.

I'm a TA, i'm also a single parent so get tax credit and a little bit off housing top up due to the low wage. Unfortunately the last couple of pay rises have seen me massively worse off as the increase is totally disproportionate to the amount they take off me so personally not clamouring for this one! Fine from being able to afford maybe one treat a month like a McDonald's to or even being able to pay my basic bills (plus I have a second job)
