Examining the ways in which an increasing number of different professionals help to improve children’s life chances, the author examines the roles of those employed directly by the schools themselves, for instance Learning Mentors, HLTAs and Teaching Assistants, and those employed by health/social and other agencies, such as school nurses, Educational social workers, study support workers, school attendance workers and Educational Psychologists.

• explores the roles of individuals within the school workforce
• makes links to Every Child Matters and Extended Schools initiatives
• provides evidences of breaking down barriers, through interviews and studies with those working at the heart of integrated schools

• gives practical advice for good practice throughout.
