Supply teacher spend

The request was partially successful.

Dear Kent County Council,

I am interested in the amounts paid by each school in Kent
to third parties in relation to temporary agency staffing cover. My
hope is to receive an electronic breakdown of amounts paid through
the department's purchase ledger by school.

Notes:
1. I would like the information in electronic format. This should
avoid any printing cost issues.
2. In order to avoid your having to collate information from
peripheral systems, I am willing to accept information only from
your main system (I would like you to advise which system this is).
By main system I mean the system that handles the largest part of
the department's expenditure. If supplier payments are made through
separate systems, then I would like you to choose the main system
for each.
3. The information I require for each school is: School Name;
Supplier name and total amount paid.
4. I would like the information to cover the year 2009/10

Yours faithfully,

Ed Groombridge

Kent County Council

Dear Mr Groombridge
 
I have been advised that we no longer hold most of the information you
have requested.  We can only provide the total spend by each school on
supply teachers, as we have no further details because the national
reporting format set by Government for schools does not require them to
report on the rest.  I would suggest that you re-direct your enquiry to
individual schools.
 
Do you want to proceed with the information we can supply to you?
 
Best regards

Dear Mr Groombridge

Thank you for your request for information made under the Freedom of
Information Act 2000.

Please see the attached spreadsheet which shows the total spend by each
school on supply teachers.  We can only provide the information for supply
teachers as the national, DfE set regulations about school financial
reporting means we do not have any detail about any agency staff employed
to cover non-teaching staff. You would have re-direct your enquiry to each
school directly for that.

If you are unhappy with this response, and believe KCC has not complied
with legislation, please ask for a review by following our complaints
process; details can be found at this link

http://www.kent.gov.uk/council-and-democ...
on our website. Please quote reference FOI/09/1214.

If you still remain dissatisfied following an internal review, you can
appeal to the Information Commissioner, who oversees compliance with the
Freedom of Information Act 2000. Details of what you need to do, should
you wish to pursue this course of action, are available from the
Information Commissioner’s website
