Dear Requestor

Please find attached a response to your recent request, under the Freedom
of Information Act, for information relating to agency cover at Newport;

·         Can a school in Newport CHOOSE to employ supply teachers who
work on a short term basis ie weekly/ daily supply cover WITHOUT going
through an agency? (Please note, I am not asking  if Newport Council has a
preferred supplier).

The Staffing in Maintained Schools (Wales) Regulations 2006 places the
responsibility for making decisions about how the school workforce is
organised, deployed and managed onto school governing bodies. This
includes the employment and deployment of temporary staff by whichever
means they deem fit.

·         If yes, please detail the process a school would need to do to
employ a teacher on a short term basis including daily supply cover.

Anyone interested in working for a particular school will need to contact
the school directly to establish their arrangements for the engagement of
short term/supply cover.

I trust this information answers your request. However, if you have any
queries about this information or you are unhappy with the service you
have received in relation to your request and wish to make a complaint or
request a review of our decision, please contact me.

In the event you are not content with the outcome of any complaint, you
may apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a decision. 
Generally, the ICO cannot make a decision unless you have exhausted the
Council’s complaint procedure.  The Information Commissioner can be
contacted at: The Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water
Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF.

Cofion/Regards

Dear Requestor

If you have a school who wishes to offer you work directly, and not through an agency, you should ask the school to contact the Transactional HR Team at the Civic Centre before they offer you any work. They will advise the school of the process to follow to engage you on a casual basis. This will be for the school to arrange (and not the Local Authority) and the school will need to complete necessary checks and processes before engagement.

Cofion/Regards
Howard
