The benefits of the Quality Mark to LEA’s, schools, supply teachers and agencies are immense, the scheme will help both schools and teachers become more confident about the agencies they use.

By using a Quality Mark Holder schools are ensuring that the necessary checking procedures are in place and that the providers they work with are up-to-date with the latest DCSF guidelines, teachers will be confident that they have selected an accredited and reputable service that will add value to their experience as supply teachers.

Quality Mark Holders are required to have standards covering the way supply teachers are recruited, selected and supplied to schools. To achieve the Quality Mark applicants are required to undergo a rigorous assessment process including a comprehensive on-site audit. Once holders of the Quality Mark, re-accreditation audits are carried out every two years to ensure standards are being adhered to.
