Support staff at schools throughout Dumfries and Galloway are concerned about restructuring plans that could impact on pupils needing extra help.
The council is proposing to re-allocate a number of hours of support to schools but staff are worried there won’t be sufficient help for pupils where it is most needed.
The move comes on top of an “insulting” two per cent pay offer to all council workers which has resulted in trade union Unison balloting members in education support services on strike action.
