Consultation ends: 17/07/09

The Welsh Assembly Government is consulting on amendments to the Staffing of Maintained Schools (Wales) Regulations 2006.

In order to ensure that legislation reflects what is required by new policy the Department for Children, Schools and Families is currently consulting on The School Staffing (England) (Consolidation) Regulations 2009. To ensure consistency across both England and Wales the Welsh Assembly Government is proposing to make the same changes to The Staffing of Maintained Schools (Wales) Regulations 2006 with regard to the current duty on governing bodies to have regard to the work/life balance of head teachers and new provisions relating to teachers' conditions of employment.
