supported by motivated
and informed technical
staff they can spend less
time on risk assessment
and equipment logistics
and more time on ensuring
high quality delivery and
learning outcomes”.
House of Commons Science and Technology Committee
6. “When technicians are
supported by organised
and knowledgeable
teachers they are better
able to deliver the high
quality resources
needed for outstanding
science lessons.”.
Dr Katherine Forsey.
7. “Schools that genuinely
appreciate technicians
benefit from improved
morale, better support for
teachers and ultimately
produce better results in
science subjects”.
UK School Science Technician Survey 2016
9. “A good working
relationship between
technician and teacher is

should be mutual
respect for each other’s
abilities, a sense of
mutual support, trust
and good
communication…
