Dear Ms Walker
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000 – TEMPORARY STAFFING COVER
IN SCHOOLS
Thank you for contacting Worcestershire County Council.
Unfortunately your request cannot be met because a legal exemption applies.
The legal exemption that applies is Section 12.
Section 12 of the Act makes provision for public authorities to refuse requests for
information where the cost of dealing with them would exceed the appropriate
limit as defined by the Freedom of Information and Data Protection (Appropriate
Limit and Fees) Regulations 2004, which for local authorities is set at £450, or
18 hours of staff time spent.
To comply with your request would require
checking each schools file, of
which there are 200 maintained schools which, in this case, would take an
estimated 50 hours. The estimate has been arrived at based on the following:
15
minutes per school x 200 maintained schools = 50 hours. However we are able to provide some information and this is attached. By
providing the summarised information we were able to run a report which
records the total expenditure per school. This showed that only 100 schools paid
for agency/supply staff last year.
If you have a complaint about the handling of this enquiry then in the first
instance please contact:
