How will the Minister incentivise teaching staff to sign up to the new online portal for supply cover, as opposed to the traditional supply agencies?
Answered by Minister for Education and the Welsh Language | Answered on 26/05/2023
Information in relation to the new booking platform will be issued to supply staff next month as part of the pre-registration phase. The information will include further detail on the benefits of undertaking supply work via the platform. The main incentive to use the platform is access to the teachers’ pension scheme and statutory pay and conditions, which will apply to supply teachers undertaking work booked via the platform.
