Temporary Agency Spend For Schools
Dear Stockport Borough Council,
I am interested in the amounts paid by each school in Stockport
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
The information I require for each school is: School Name;
Supplier name and total amount paid.
4. I would like the information to cover the year 2010/11.
Yours faithfully,
Amanda Walker

Dear Ms Walker,
I am writing in response to your request for information below (ref 4403).
The response to your request has been prepared by the relevant Council
service and is attached and below:
Please find enclosed file which provides summary information of the third
party agency costs incurred by schools for temporary supply in 2010-11.
As schools are autonomous and have their own separate local bank account
arrangements they engage directly with the 3^rd party agencies for the
procurement of supply teachers. Therefore the information held by the
Local Authority is only for the total expenditure incurred by each school
for the whole of the financial year and not for the individual agencies
and/or teachers concerned.
Should you require any additional detailed information (i.e. Agency
organisation names, frequency of use, etc.), a separate request would need
to be directed to the individual school concerned. Lists of primary and
secondary schools with contact details are available on the Council
website at [1]www.stockport.gov.uk.
If you are unhappy with the way we have handled your request you are
entitled to ask for an internal review. Any internal review will be
carried out by a senior member of staff who was not involved with your
original request. To ask for an internal review, contact [2][email
address] in the first instance.
If you are unhappy with the outcome of any internal review, you are
entitled to complain to the Information Commissioner. To do so, contact:
Information Commissioner’s Office
