The TDA has developed guidance for trainers, assessors and line managers on how the TDA induction materials for teaching assistants and support staff link to the supporting teaching and learning national occupational standards and other relevant training and qualifications.

The guidance has been developed in consultation with colleagues from the Children’s Workforce Development Council, the National Strategies, local authorities and schools. It will support the approach already taken by many local authorities to supplement and tailor the induction materials to the needs of their learners. The guidance and induction materials for teaching assistants and support staff in schools is available from the TDA website.
