Supply Teachers
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what mechanisms she is putting in place to ensure that proposed agency fee caps under the new Supply Teachers and Temporary Staffing framework are effectively monitored and enforced.
Answered by Georgia Gould
The responsibility for monitoring adherence to the agency fee caps, and all requirements of the framework agreement, sits with Crown Commercial Service (CCS). As part of the framework terms and conditions, agencies must provide data reporting, with potential consequences of non-compliance resulting in removal from the framework agreement.
To support CCS, the department will review spend across the sector, comparing it with the management information reported by suppliers to CCS through the framework.
