Last week Damien Hinds, Education Secretary, launched a new online tool to help headteachers bypass excessive fees charged by some supply agencies – in 2017 schools spent in excess of £800 million in this area.
The tool will clearly show the fees that recruitment agencies charge on top of staff wages, to make it clear what schools will get in return for their money. It also aims to help schools avoid agencies that charge fees for making temporary staff permanent.
The full press release published 15 January has more of the detail.
