Dear N Davies,

In response to your Freedom of Information request, please see our
response below:

Please can you tell me whether the authority provides continuing
professional development for or funds the continuing professional
development specifically for private agency teaching staff?

The Council does not provide training for school agency staff, but schools
may use some of their own funding and therefore this information would be
retained within each individual school.  I have attached the schools
contact details for information as you will need to contact each school
directly.

Please note the schools are data controllers in their own right and are
therefore responsible for their own information.

I hope this is of assistance.

Kind regards
