Dear Ms Sandles

Thank you for your request for information dated 29/08/2018 concerning
Employment of Supply Teachers

This is to inform you that your request has been considered and I can
provide the following response:

The Request:

 1. Please can you tell me if any of your schools employ supply teachers
directly?

Under Section 1 of the Freedom of Information Act a public authority is
required to inform you

1 (a) whether the information requested is held by the public authority,
and

(b) to have that information communicated if that is the case.

In this case the information requested is not held.

This information is not held by Powys County Council, please contact the
schools directly for this information

- [2]http://www.powys.gov.uk/en/schools-stude...

 2. If so can you tell me how many were on your payroll and were paid
directly in the academic year 2017/2018? N/A – they are not on the
payroll as they are paid by claim

 3. What was the cost of direct employment? N/A

 4. If you do not employ any directly, can you tell me a reason for this
when the Cabinet Secretary for Education says schools have a choice
whether to employ directly or to use agencies.  – We have no recorded
information regarding this matter however, in an attempt to be of
assistance under our Section 16 obligations we can advise that in
Powys supply teachers are registered on a database which is in effect
an “agency” that the school can have access to.  Technically supply
teachers have put themselves on the register on a zero hours, short
notice basis and they are deemed to be “workers” rather than
“employees”

We believe that this request is now complete and shall be closed
immediately. Should any further information be requested regarding this
topic, a separate request will need to be submitted.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your interest in
Powys County Council.

Yours sincerely,

Information Compliance Team
