Schools Supply Spend 23/24
Dear Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council,
With regards to the Freedom of Information Act, I would like a
summary of the school spends on agency supply staff within Rhondda Cynon Taff CBC for the financial year 2023 - 2024.
I would like an electronic breakdown of amounts
paid through the department's purchase ledger by school and to which supplier.
Yours faithfully,
Rhys Davies
Dear Rhys Davies
Thank you for your request for information.
Your request will be processed in accordance with the Freedom of
Information Act 2000 (or Environmental Information Regulations 2004, if it
relates to environmental information).
You should ordinarily expect to receive a response to your request no
later than 20 working days following the date of submission to the
Council.
Yours sincerely
Claire Gummer

Dear Rhys Davies
We refer to your Freedom of Information Request in respect of School
Agency Spend in 2023/24.
Please refer to the attachment for the information.
You will see in the attachment that some information has been redacted for
data protection purposes. Section 40(2) provides that personal data about
third parties is exempt information if one of the conditions set out in
Section 40(3A), (3B) or (4A) is satisfied. Under the Act disclosure of
this information would breach the fair processing principle contained in
the Data Protection Act (DPA) 2018. In accordance with Section 17 of the
Freedom of Information Act 2000, this email acts as a Refusal Notice to
that element of the request.
We have considered the Public Interest Test and have therefore balanced
such issues as the Council's desire to be open and transparent in all its
dealings against the need to ensure that the personal data of individuals
is not made public.
Please note: the attached spreadsheet relates to payments made by the
Council only. Some Secondary and Primary Schools have their own bank
accounts, therefore to have an accurate and true reading of school supply
agency spend, you will also have to contact the governing bodies of the
schools that are not on the attached list. A full list of schools within
RCT can be viewed via the following link:

We hope the information provided is satisfactory. If you have any queries,
please do not hesitate to contact us.
If you are dissatisfied with the Council’s response, you can request an
internal review. If you wish to exercise this right, you must do so within
40 working days of the date of this response. Please set out in writing
your grounds and send your appeal to [2][email address]
Additionally you may, if you wish, find out more about the Freedom of
Information Act & Environmental Information Regulations from the
Information Commissioner at [3]http://www.ico.org.uk/
Yours sincerely
