I am very keen to talk to authorities who do not

Hi Joan,

In Windsor and Maidenhead we are a centralised service with a small team of 
peripatetic teachers.  Schools buy back our services.  We too have increased 
numbers of EM pupils and a small budget.  In addition to teaching  regular 
weekly timetables  we train school staff and provide advice and assessment 
for New Arrivals and under achieving groups.  Home Liaison Officers 
(multilingual of course) are a very important link with the established 
ethnic communities.  We also employ and train multilingual support 
assistants who may do 10 or 15 hours a week in a school managed by the 
peripatetic teacher who is there only half a day.  Our team has to maintain 
a high profile in the borough as some staff in distant areas say  'EMA 
what's that?'  If money were devolved into schools I fear expertise would be 
diluted and lost.  It all requires being positive, forward looking and 
liaising with the leaders of the various community groups.
