C McEwan made this Freedom of Information request to Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council

This request has been withdrawn by the person who made it. There may be an explanation in the correspondence below.

From: C McEwan

5 June 2009

Dear Sir or Madam,

1. Does your Local Authority presently employ Education
Counsellors* (rather than ‘buying in’ such a service from an
external provider)?

2. If the answer to Question 1 is ‘yes’, please state for
each Education Counsellor employed by the Local
Authority:

• Whether they have been deemed to be eligible to join the Teachers
Pension Scheme and

• The date when they joined the Teachers Pension Scheme

• Whether they are employed on Teachers Terms and Conditions of
Employment

3. If your Local Authority does not presently employ Education
Counsellors have they done so in the past?

4. If the answer to Question 3 is ‘yes’, please state for each
School Counsellor employed by the Local Authority since 31 March
2004:

• Whether they were deemed to be eligible to join the Teachers
Pension Scheme and

• When they joined the Teachers Pension Scheme

* Education Counsellors meaning those employed to support pupils in
education

Yours faithfully,

C McEwan

Dear Mr McEwan

Thank you for your email below and in response could I ask for
clarification about what you mean by Education Counsellors. Do you mean
teachers employed in a pastoral or support role by the LA or is this
something else ?

Best wishes
