When a school rep is accompanying a member or colleague that member can expect the rep:
- To give moral support – so member or colleague does not feel alone
- To act as a witness to what is being said.
- To seek clarification if what is being said is unclear.
- To help ensure that the meeting only deals with the agenda items.
The rep is not representing the member or colleague and therefore cannot speak on his/her behalf
