Summary

Problems with this survey Sample size too small

14 Directors 12 Managers 8 Coordinators 22 Consultants / Specialists

Assignment of positions to above categories was arbitrary (See notes on position pages)

Recommendations NMC’s should work together to establish

classifications and descriptions for common positions.

We should seek to know how people with the same skills are paid, outside of Education, so we can avoid losing good people because of salary issues.
