§ Mr. Robin SquireA draft circular giving advice to schools on the recruitment of supply teachers, and guidance notes for employment agencies, were sent to consultees on 17 November 1995. A wide range of comments has been received and is still under consideration. We plan to issue the final guidance later this term.
