DCSF
The Quality Mark was launched in July 2002 as a joint initiative between the Department for Education and Skills and the Recruitment and Employment Confederation to help drive up standards for everyone in the education sector.
It recognises the value of supply teachers in making an important contribution to the smooth running of schools and ensures they are recruited and managed well, allowing them to give their best to schools.
The main objectives of the Quality Mark are:
- To recognise private sector supply businesses and Local Authorities who are able to demonstrate that they meet standards of good practice in managing and providing supply teachers for schools.
- To enable schools and temporary teachers to feel confident about the quality of the recruitment businesses and Local Authorities with whom they are dealing.
- To raise the standard and status of supply teaching.
- To recognise the contributions made by supply teachers, recruitment businesses and Local Authorities in supporting schools.
