Commentary

1.  The tutor is the primary contact for the pupils. Tutors fulfil the function of being the

member of staff who ‘knows the pupil well’.

2.  Each tutor group (register class) has 25 pupils. Each of the 4 classes is linked to a single
Principal Teacher of Pastoral Care (Head of House) within the school’s vertical House
structure. The tutor and the Head of House work as a team to support the pupils and the
latter provides advice and support to the tutor.

3.  The tutor delivers the Personal and Social Education programme to his/her own tutor
group. In addition they are expected to be part of the team delivering aspects of any
learning skills programme through their own subject teaching.

4.  Each team of tutors meets with their Head of House on a regular basis e.g. every 4

weeks. These meetings normally take place at 3.35pm.

5.  In S1 and S3, the tutor or Head of House meets with the parents for 10 minutes to talk
through all aspects of the Interim reports issued in term 1 and wider issues of how the
pupil has settled into the school or the S3/S4 curriculum.

Staff Development

It is important to realise that undertaking the role of tutor is an important part of
professional learning for teachers and is essential in our delivery of health and wellbeing as
a responsibility for all. Skills will develop over a period of time.

as such the role will work closely with teams across the organisation as well as with
organisations across our network.

The Policy and Campaigns Manager will build on the progress that has been made
in recent years in relation to our policy priorities. Over the last five years we have
contributed to significant change and development in areas including in-work
poverty, Scottish social security policy, child poverty legislation, food insecurity and
participation. We have played a central role in supporting coalitions such as End
Child Poverty, Tax Justice Scotland and the Scottish Campaign on the Right to
Social Security. The Policy and Campaigns Manager is central to the development of
key campaigns including Challenge Poverty Week, Scotland Demands Better and
the Minimum Income Guarantee.

A critical aspect of the role is ensuring that we have a policy and campaigns team
that is adequately resourced to have an impact on decisions in Scotland and that can
effectively involve and reflect the priorities of our members. Experience and
knowledge of the funding environment that voluntary organisations in Scotland
operate in will be critical.

This Policy and Campaigns Manager role will be critical in ensuring that the Alliance
continues to play an influential role in the development of social justice policy at local
and national levels in Scotland. Crucially this role will play a vital role in the period
prior to the next Scottish Parliament elections and in building new relationships after
the election.
