Teaching assistant and pupils
Almost 100 support staff would like a professional association
Teaching assistants and other support staff in Jersey are hoping to form a professional association to represent their views.

Alison Lees, a teaching assistant at Grainville School, believes an island-wide association would provide a support network for staff.

She says in recent years the role has become increasingly professional.

Almost 100 people who attended a meeting at Grainville School expressed an interest in signing up.

The body would deal with a variety of issues, including training and employment.

Once a committee has been formed, the organisation may consider joining a UK union.
