Agency spend in schools for academic year 2012-2013

Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council did not have the information requested.

Dear Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council,

I am interested in the amounts paid by all Schools in Blackburn with Darwen LEA 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 for the last Academic year ending 2013 .

Please can you supply the following information in an excel spread sheet format:-

School Name – URN or DFE number – agency/supplier name – total amount paid

Yours faithfully,

amanda L Walker
